I don't agree that the difference is bottle vs breast though. I think it is baby temperament and parenting. All my babies have been different in terms of feeding and sleeping. My first born had the most fantastic routine from 12 weeks - breast fed every hours (both breasts) slept for two hours at a time during the day and slept from 9pm until 6.30am consistently. My number two however was so opposite. He only like to have one breast at a time, didn't really develop a routine until after 6 months and didn't sleep through until 7 months. His day sleeps were only cat naps until about 7 months too. Breast feeding can be exhausting, but as you said it is certainly worth the benefits!
