Someone may have posted something similar recently (or maybe it was on another forum... I dunno... I'm half asleep these days). Sorry if this is a repeat.
My son is a pretty good sleeper, but of course only being a month old he wakes for feedings through the night. I put him down in his crib for the night around 8/8.30pm, he'll wake for feedings around 12/1am, 4/5am, then he wakes for the day around 7am.
I would LOVE to eliminate the 12/1am feed by introducing a dreamfeed, say, around 10/10.30pm (his last bottle before bed is around 7/7.30pm). I've tried this once, but he only consumed a couple of ounces and still woke up at 12/1am as usual... so I ended up more tired than I would have been if I'd left well enough alone.
Do I need to keep this up for a while, like a week or so, before I start to see some results or should it be fairly instantaneous?
