Awake Feed

[Adelheid]

I know that a dream feed should happen while he slumbers on, but I seem to be waking my 5mo LO up every time I dream feed him. Does it have any negative consequences on his sleep if he wakes up, other than me having to settle him back to sleep? I give him a bottle of BM and keep everything quiet and dark but it seems I catch him in lighter sleep and he will open his eyes and smile at me!

Does it seem to disturb his sleep later in the night? Is he waking more often after that? If not then I wouldn't worry too much that he is waking.

You could try changing the time of the DF to try to catch him in deeper sleep.

My LO was bottle fed, and always woke for the DF. Like ali says you can try a different time to catch him in deeper sleep.
Eventually mine habitually woke for the DF so would wake a few mins earlier in anticipation of the feed - just meant I had to be on time - further down the line when you need to ween the DF you have to accept LO is awake so treat it like a NF. It wasn't hard even though I was quite nervous about it.
