So C is only getting 1.45 to MAYBE 2.15 hrs a night at a time and he will be 6 weeks this sunday. Should I try doing dreamfeeds?  With dd by the time I discovered baby whisperer she was on bottles and dreamfeeds were the greatest thing ever. I'm just not so sure it will work with C being EBF.  I'm trying to find my book bit we recently moved and we still have boxes packed!!!

When could you do a DF if he is waking so soon after the last feed do you think? Have you tried resettling without feeding at all?

Are you cluster feeding in the evening?  I clusterfed and also DF both LOs.  FYI, with LO1 we did DF with a bottle of EBM for first 5 months and then moved to DF without a bottle, no problem.  LO2 refused all bottles so she did DF with no bottles throughout.  Perfectly doable, and a bit easier than bottles, I think.  May even have helped me sleep better :)

Oh my the cluster feeding is out of control!!! I guess it's par for the course since you mentioned it!! His nightly schedule is pretty varied right now..I probably should call it a schedule but I guess I'll just do his dream feed before I crawl into bed?
