As a transistion for my spirited lo I introduced a dream feed when we started EASY and PD at 11 months. I did this because he was waking every 1 1/2 to 2 hours to nurse all night long. I felt that if I only gave him ths dream feed it would help. And it did. It solved everything.
Now that I have been trying to eliminate this I have used the suggestions from Tracy's book, but as I made the time earlier, he began waking up at 12am like he did before the dream feed. so, in fear of nights the way they used to be I went back to the old schedule.
I am BF and have no way of knowng how much my lo is getting. I have increased his food during the day to make up for the amount decreased at night, but he doesn't always want more food.
I don't know what to do. I have to stop the dream feed, but he has come to rely on it, sometimes waking up at the exact time I give it to him.
Help. what do I do.
Can I stop the dream feed cold turkey and just do PD when he wakes up until he gets the message?
Any suggestions would be appreciated
Thanx,
melissa
