If, however, by leaving her she will wake herself up completely then I’d quickly feed her back to sleep. Generally if a baby wakes up but is still very sleep they only need a few minutes of feeding to get them to sleep again. This means that everyone’s sleep is disturbed only slightly. If the baby gets to the cryinguyy stage it tends to mean a much long feed to settle the baby down again.
This is one of the beauties of breastfeeding – that it gets the baby to sleep – use it to your advantage.

Hi Sarah
I know and agree with what u said about putting babies to sleep as being one of the beauties of BF but its the getting them to STAY asleep is the difficult part...I hv to nurse until she's in deep sleep if I pull away before she goes into deep sleep mode, she'll wake up! Now she wants comfort suck in the day and I end up hvg her nurse for over an hour jus to make her stay asleep for her naps. Desperate mommy calls for desperate measures!
