It should pass but I'd try to space the feeds out again a touch just in case.

Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay...

She slept through again till 5am. I tried feeding her like a NF and seeing if she would go down but - 30 mins later she was still singing to the giraffe on the wall so DH went to the rescue.

Yesterday she took good long feeds almost 4 hours apart and she wasn't bobbing AND they were one sided (I was so nervous about double sidedness but I did for a few days to make sure supply was up - I have overactive letdown and did not want to tred the green poo's of doom territory again!!!)

Defo acting like she is teething still - she keeps trying to eat my thumb!

Really appreciate all your help on here ladies. Helped alot these last few weeks.

Ladies - reading up on dropping the df and with the current shindigs do you think dropping the might help!?/be good to work on while things are bit up in he air anyway?

She either wakes early for it or if i don't get in there for exactly 10.30 she is waking up and letting us know...

Now she is a few days from 7 months i wondered if its aactually disrupting her night sleep as she used to be completely out of it!!!

thanks ladies (again) last night was dodgy but i think we r going to have this till some teeth come!

Hope you and your los are well! Autumn is trying to stand and crawl at once. Funniest thing to see her lil ladylike butt in the air!!!!

Might be worth a shot.  All that development has got to mess with sleep a bit too

I've never done it myself, but seen it suggested that you move it earlier and earlier so it meets up with pre-bed feed.

Yes, move it forward by about 15 minutes every few days -- there's a sticky about it here:

The best part about dropping the df is going to bed earlier.  :)  Good luck!

Can i butt in? We dropped the dream feed about a week after the 6 month growth spurt (it was massive for us ::) ) - we essentially dropped it cold turkey- he woke up one night at DF time and made a little noise... and lazy mummy was already tucked up in bed... so i couldn't be bothered getting up.... he stayed asleep and that was it! He would still at times wake between 4-6am for a feed until around 8-9 months..

Just thought i'd tell you how we did it- I had planned on moving it further forward- but couldn't be bothered in the end!!

Understandable- and it wasn't so much bravery, but laziness at play with me!
