2 Week Old Won't DreamFeed
« on: April 16, 2012, 19:20:13 pm »
My two week old DD #2 won't dreamfeed.  DD #1 took to it right away but not this child.  When I go to give her a bottle at 10pm she will not take it (she is still asleep).  I tickle her lip, caress her cheek, anything I can think of to get her to open her mouth but to no avail.  She reamins oblivious to the bottle.  Should I wake her and attempt to feed her that way or leave her be and feed when she next awakes?  I'm giving cluster feeds at 6pm and 8pm.

I would try giving it to her a bit later, if you are clustering at 6 and 8 she may still be too full from these feeds to want anything. Try closer to 11pm and see if that makes a difference, she will be in a different part of her sleep cycle then too.

The other thing to do is leave her without it for now, let her wake when she is hungry and try the dream feed again in a few weeks when she is a bit bigger.

Congrats on your new bundle by the way ;)

HTH!
