How late or early can you DF?
« on: September 22, 2005, 01:31:42 am »
How early in the evening or late can you DF and have it still be effective? How long after the last feed should it be?
Caeden is going down between 6:30 -7:30 and is typically waking up by midnight to feed - his last feed is usually sometime between 5-6. If I feed him good at this point he will sleep till 4 or so and then again till 6 or so and then is up - sometimes get another catnap of 45 minutes shortly after he feeds at this time.

I was thinking maybe I ought to try DF - it has not worked in the past and he has just woken up at whatever the current normal is even if I did feed him, but I was thinking I would maybe try again.

Any advice?
Thanks!

best time to df is between 10-11, but not after 11 because then the feed is going into the middle fo the night.  remember that sometimes it takes a couple of weeks to work.  we haev doen it with Taylor since she was 6 weeks and it works beautifully for us...she sleeps till 7 am most mornigns now! :)   gotta love Tracy!
