Hi

I was hoping for some advice with my 3 week old DS.  I am wondering how the tanking up and dream feeds work at night.  At the moment Xander will drink 4oz at each feed and looking at the BW book it mentions about tanking up at 7pm and 9pm and then a dream feed no later than 11pm.

How much should I be expecting my DS to drink at these times??

Hope someone can advise.

HI, I asked similar question about cluster and dream feeds for new borns, and I was advised to feed on demand for first couple of months.Have a look at the entry I started called "advise please" in the EASY Forum- Two moms have written advise.
Hope this helps sweetie x

Hello,
Tanking up is just that  :D   There is not set amount.  So if he only takes 1/2oz that's ok too.  Just offer what he'll take  :D
