Too much at dreamfeed?
« on: September 03, 2008, 15:15:39 pm »
I hope this is the right place to post this.  My LO is almost 5 1/2 months old and we have been doing the dream feed and he's been doing great with it.  I've just started solids with him about a week ago.  He eats about 2 times a day, one after morning feed and another in the afternoon.  I was going to start a third feeding probably in about another week.  He's started to not take that much during his 4 feedings during the day (about 7 oz. instead of usual 8), I figure it's because of the rice cereal.  Well, he usually take 8 oz. at dream feed and would still drink pretty much all of it.  Well, yesterday morning, his first feeding of the day, he had maybe 6 1/2 oz.  This morning, he only had 5 oz and was not hungry anymore. 
I have a few questions.  Because of the solids and the 8 oz. at dream feed, should I cut down the amount we give him at dream feed?  Is he ready to drop the dream feed?  I understand that to start dropping dream feed, you should drop 1 oz at a time and give 1 more oz during the day.  If I start to drop 1 oz. tonight at dream feed, do I start giving him the 1 more oz tomorrow during the day?  or should I give him 1 more oz. during a feeding today since I'll be dropping 1 oz. from dream feed?  I hope that made sense.

TIA!
