I tried unsuccessfully to do the dreamfeed on dd. She will start to take the bottle but falls asleep after only 2-3 ounces. Even if it's been 4-5 hours since she last ate. I tried doing it at 10, then, 10:30, then 11. Finally I've kind of given up. She will wake around midnight, but BW book says that's too late to give a dreamfeed. She will also wake at least once more during the night to eat. I am so jealous of moms that have babies that sleep long stretches. Mine will only sleep max of 4 hours at a time. I know she's hungry at her wake times because she won't fall back to sleep on the paci. And I try to feed her 6oz every 3-3 1/2 hours during the day, but she usually only eats between 4 and 5. I don't cluster feed her either at night because she just won't take it. So I don't know if I just have to wait it out, or what. She's 12 weeks and almost 12 pounds. I'm wondering if the paci has something to do with her not sleeping for long stretches. Just another reason to hate it. Anyone have any ideas of what to do?
