If I can, anyone can... The best thing we did was to use a bedside "cosleeper" (cot which can have one side removed and be adjusted to the same height as your bed and fastened together to make one big bed) for the first year or so. He had his own space so I wasn't getting kicked awake but I still didn't have to fully wake up to breastfeed in the night. Don't think I'd have survived without that!
