dream feed advice please
« on: October 07, 2006, 13:03:53 pm »
hi all,
my dd is 5 weeks old and i just wanted some advice on when i should give her a dream feed or a cluster feed. at the moment she takes evening feeds at 5.30 and 7.30 then goes down at 8. my dh usually gives her a 3oz expressed bottle around 12 or 12.30. I have a feeling he's leaving it too late, so that she is already ready for it. she then usually wakes again at 3.30 and 6.30. - i'd love to push these to 4.30 and 7.30!, would it help if i was giving her a feed around 10?
thanks,
Dee

Hi Dee! Seeing that your DD is only 5 weeks I would certainly suggest giving another feed at 9:30 or 10 pm, then the DF at 12 or 12:30.

It's been awhile now since my LO was that young so I'm sure others have more recent experience.

Welcome to the zany world of motherhood!  :D
