Anyone stop the Dream Feed cold turkey??
« on: January 20, 2006, 17:49:38 pm »
I am thinking that this is going to be my method of choice.  My seven month old drinks 8 oz 4 times per day PLUS three melas of solids, so, I don't really know that I can add more ounces to his bottles or they'll overflow!  :-)

What we're doing right now is just bumping it up an hour.  I'm thinking that we should just stop giving it and see what happens.  Any thoughts?
God will give you exactly what you ask Him for, even if it's not in the package you expected it to be in.

Hello :)  We dropped both of them cold turkey, but they were closer to 3 months....we didn't have any problems.  I say try it and see what happens :)

Well, I guess it is the weekend, so if I'm up all night tonight and tomorrow, who cares, right?  :-)

I think we are going to try it!

Not so good.  He woke up at 10:30 MAD.  We tried pu/pd and he was not having any of it.  He was hungry.  So, I guess we'll keep it for a little while longer.  He'll drop it by the time he startd kindergarten, right?  ;-)

Hi Amy

Sounds like the cold turkey method didn't go down too well!! Eek!!

You could try reducing the amount you give by an Ounce  a day until you're only giving one ounce, then don't give on the night after. That might ease the transition a bit.

love
