Dropping dream feed-- when and how?

[Aking]

Hi there,
my LO is 9.5 months and I am still dream feeding him at 1030pm (sometimes he wakes before, sometimes he doesn't). He is only in the 10th % and my doctor said to keep feeding him as I am. However, he eats solids three times a day now with snacks in between and he's a great little eater. I just think he's a thinner guy because I am and he's always been that way. He is EBF so I'm not 100% how much he has been getting from me, but he's never cried or fussed from hunger.
He sleeps through the night from 630pm-7am and I only feed him at 1030. I know the book says to drop the dream feed by 9 months, but he was still waking and seeming hungry at that time. He now is starting not to wake or stir and he's not as hungry it seems, but sort of lazily eating.
When is the best time to drop the dream feed and how should I go about it? the book says to wean down how much he has each night and bump up the dream feed time. Is this the best idea? All friends that I know who dream fed their Los just dropped the feed entirely one night and from then on there were no wake ups.

Thanks
AK

Hi I dropped our DF at about 7 months and just brought it earlier every few nights and gave less then one night just went cold turkey and he never missed it. I did bottle feed so that might be different but if you think he's not too interested in it you could just try it 1 night and see what happens! :-)

I also brought mine earlier each night holding at one time for about three nights before moving earlier again. We kept the DF until about 10 months as we weaned using bLW and she wasn't taking full solid feeds before the really.
