Hi,
My lo is a bit over 7 months old and is having 3 meals a day and a dreamfeed at around 10:30pm.
He still wakes though the night but not to be feed until 6am. I was wondering when i should stop his dreamfeed and how to go about doing it.
I used to give him a df at 11pm but lo started waking around 10:30 for a feed.
Any suggestions would be great.

I'm in the same boat. My lo is 8 mos old and we still do the dream feeds though I am not sure she really needs them now. I've misplaced my book and need to find out how to eliminate the df. I remeber Tracey saying that she gets rid of them aroun 7 mos b/c it starts to become to awakening for the lo.
Anyone have explanation of how to eliminate?

Hi ladies!! :)
I'm actually in the process of making a sticky on the "HOW TO DROP A DREAMFEED" from Tracy's book. Hopefully it'll be up in the next couple of days. But in a nutshell, you take away an ounce from the bottle and move it up 1/2 hr. For example if you are feeding 5 ounces at 10:30pm, the first night I would offer 4 at 10:30, then 3 at 10:00, 2 @ 9:30 until you are at zero. Hope that makes sense.
I always dropped the DF cold turkey at 3-4mos with no problems. Could you try that too and see what happens :) ;)
