How do you drop the dreamfeed?
« on: December 05, 2005, 03:36:57 am »
My son is 6 months old and I think that we are ready to drop the dreamfeed.  He takes 7 ounces 4 times during the day with fruit and cereal in the morning and veggies before bath and bed.  How do I go about doing this?

Hi Amy

The usual suggestion is to reduce the amount you give in the DF each night over a week - that way you're not withdrawing the feed immediately (so less change he'll wake up hungry!).

Try reducing the bottle by an Oz every night.

Hi, sorry, I don't have any breast feeding experience as my DD was exclusively bottle fed. If you put a post in the Breast Feeding Forum I'm sure some of the ladies over there will give you some tips.
