Dream feed

Following as I do exactly the same! Xx

Just take it away, she’ll wake if she’s hungry x

I’m gonna give it a go tonight and see if she wakes x

Cause I do always wonder if I make her more awake by feeding her

I think the best way to do it is to offer an extra feed during the day then gradually reduce the dream feed. For example, if your baby has 210ml reduce by 20/30ml every 2/3 days. This is how we did it with our first but my current (19 week old) still wakes for a night feed.

What is dream feeding? I’m curious

@Briana feeding them without waking them up. I've personally never done it

I didn’t dream feed her last night, she stirred for a dummy once but is still asleep now! Woo hoo success! X

@Bella aw amazing! Enjoy the sleep 😅

My girl has started to refuse the 11pm dream feed but then waking at like 2/3 starving as she has a bottle at 6.30pm and then usually after the 11pm dream feed would sleep through to 6.30am again. Not sure what she’s doing!!!

@Jess could you bring her last bottle later?x

@Rheo difficult as she’s usually really ready for it at 6 plus she seems to do straight into nighttime sleep at 6/7ish! But I’m going to have to try something. She refused again last night and woke me up at 4.30/5am which is that horrible time of it being too late to go back to sleep (I have a 5 year old who wakes at 6.30) 🙄

@Jess oh I see yeah, that must be tough with another child. Not sure you’d want to stay up later and dry the dream feed at midnight instead of 11pm she may be more ready for it an hour later and could stretch her wake time. It might not work for you but thought I’d suggest x
