Hi, I am new to this forum and I just recently picked up Tracy's book and am curious about dreamfeeding. Here's the feeding that usually occurs at night with my 4 month old babygirl:
7pm last feeding
7:45pm in bed
3-4am middle-of-the-night feeding
8-8:30am up for the day
i am a nightowl, so even though she goes to bed so early, i'm usually not in bed until 11 or 12am....this is why dreamfeeding interested me...also, that's why our day doesn't begin until 8am (i know many consider this late, but it works for us)...
i remember reading that dreamfeeding is mainly for people who have babies who wake up 2 times or more during the night...so should i even start a DF at this point?...i would prefer if our day didn't start any earlier than 8am and i'm afraid if i begin the DFs she will get up earlier for the day...but i also don't get enough sleep before her middle-of-the night feeding...OR should i just start changing my habits and start getting my butt to bed earlier??? :roll: ...i'm already thinking of trying to at least be in my bedroom by 9:30pm...
any advice or thoughts would be greatly appreciated...thanks so much for reading!
take care...
