So, my little guy is 4 weeks old and thus far does not eat in his sleep. He will lay there with the bottle on his mouth forever and not do any sucking. We have been waking him between 10-11 to do a "dream feed" and I am beginning to wonder as I read more, whether it is more important to get him the food at that time or keep him asleep. If he won't take it in his sleep, should I just skip it?
I am afraid if I skip it, he will wake up more in the night. He has been waking between 2 and 3am and then agin between 5:30 and 6:30am. The one night we didn't dream feed because he wouldn't take it, he woke up hungry by 11:30 and our whole night was off. I welcome any and all advise.
I haven't given up on getting him to dream feed, it just hasn't worked yet.
Thanks!!
