Zelda--
That's great news! Thanks for checking in. It helps to know there is someone else out there trying to do the same thing. I hope you'll post how things go when you don't give him the dreamfeed tonight.
Gabriel is still at 9:30 pm with a few less ounces than when we were doing the dreamfeed consistently at 10 pm. We were going to move to 9 pm last night, offering even less, but the night before, he had woken at 4 am crying. After changing diapers, checking teeth, etc., he was getting even more hysterical. I finally tried feeding him, which did the trick. He took 7 ounces. Yikes. But last night we were back to "normal"--- he took 5 ounces at the 9:30 pm dreamfeed and slept through until 7 this morning. So we'll try 9 pm tonight with fewer ounces and see how it goes. At this point, I think some of that late feeding is habit because he has such solid meals in the daytime and pretty close to enough formula... I just can't imagine that he's not getting enough to eat in the day to last him. But we'll see-- stranger things have been known to happen around here!
