I don't do a dream feed, but cluster feeding, I feed until he seems disinterested.  He's 4 1/2 months old, so it may vary depending on how old your lo is.

You really try to have a full feed at these times because you want them to tank up as much as possible before the night and not just snack.

DS usually eats 5-6 ounces during his dream feed, and the feed usually lasts about a half hour.
