how and when to stop dreamfed
« on: July 04, 2009, 23:26:30 pm »
hi everyone my lo is nearly 6 months now, is on 2 solid meals a day, and just starting to introduce a third, im still giving him a dreamfeed, but once hes on 3 meals a day ill wean him off it.
Just wondering how old was ur baby and how did you do it?
Is it best to do the feed earlier and earlier first or reduce the amount, hes starting to take less recently anyway by himself, use to have 260ml now only about 210ml.
thanks
tracy

Hi Tracynben, I am so happy you posted this b/c I have the same question as you. However my little guy is almost 8 months and I'm almost sure it's time to end his dreamfeed... but he still takes so much at it! hmmm... looking forward to seeing what other people say!

Hello ladies,

Tracy suggested weaning the DF at around 7 months.  However some mums have done it a lot earlier and some mums later.

Have you seen this sticky in our FAQ's Section on weaning the DF?
