Dreamfeed?????

[babyboy26]

Is it too early to drop the dreamfeed with a 3.5 month old?  I read about the dreamfeed under FAQs, and it looks like you should keep it until around 7 months, but it seems that she is waking more frequently WITH the dreamfeed.

With dreamfeed, she was waking only once (between 3:30 and 5 ish).  All was going well, but for the past couple of weeks, she has been waking 2 (sometimes 3) times in the night.  I know she can go longer than 3 hrs between feeds at night, because she was doing it!

So, as an experiment, I tried not giving the dreamfeed last night, and she woke only once at 2 am, then again at 6:30 which was the start of our day. 

She had her last feed at 7pm and was asleep by 7:30, did not wake until 2.  Was it ok to do this??

There really are no should(s), the only should is to monitor what works best for you and your lo, and then go for it. DF isn't for everyone, we also actually tried for only a short while and then stopped it, so if it's better for you to wake up whenever she does, that would be fine

Well...it wasn't too successful after the first couple of days, so I am going back to doing a dreamfeed!
