My six month old son (spirited, touchy) has about 4-5 feeds a day of either solids or bottle. At night he goes to bed about 7 PM. I've been dream feeding him since he was born. I think they've worked okay- problem is he wakes up from them and I think he wakes up again during the night because of the earlier disturbance from the dream feed. He always wakes up from them. I want to get rid of the DF but 7 PM seems to be too early for him to have his final meal. He wakes up screaming at 3 PM.
Then again, last night I dreamed fed him and he only ate 3 oz and STILL woke up screaming at 3. He ate a full bottle at 3.
So how can I get him off the DF if he eats last at 7 and isn't really interested in eating at the DF. Is 7 too early for a last feed- he does pretty well if I feed him last at 8:30 but I can't keep him awake until then.
Sometimes he'll take a catnap from 5:30 and it lasts till 8 so I luck out then because I feed him for the night. But sometimes he wakes up at 6:30 and is ready for bed. So do I DF or not-since he's not so into it and wakes up from it?
Thanks!
