Dreamfeed question
« on: August 11, 2008, 16:41:14 pm »
My LO is just over 4 months and we've been on 4 hour EASY for a while... 6.30, 10.30, 2.30, 6.00, 7.30 then dreamfeed at 11pm

She has about 6oz in each bottle (apart from the cluster feed early evening). We tried 1 feed at 6.30 but this didnt work for her, lots of crying etc, so we went back to the 2 feeds.

When she is in bed fast asleep she doesn't actually wake or even stir for the 11pm dreamfeed so I'm wondering if / when we should stop. I know the normal advice is 7 months but my LO does enjoy her milk in the day and I'm a little worried that maybe I'm giving her too much! (Or maybe that is stupid?!)

We are thinking of starting her on baby rice soon before she starts nursery in September and also for a few other reasons from looking at other advice threads. Would it be a good time to drop the dreamfeed then?

Thanks
