solids and dropping the dreamfeed!
« on: March 08, 2006, 23:33:00 pm »
Hi, I have just got one question. My lo has been on soilids for about 2-3 weeks now and since introducing solids  has slept through then night. I bf her through the day and then dh gives her a dreamfeed at 10pm. When do we drop that feed. It is nice at the mo as we put her down at around 7-7.30 after bedtime routine and then dh feeds her formula at 10pm and she goes through to 7am. Do you think we need to wait to establish more solids in the day before dropping the df?

That's great that she's sleeping through the night! It's really up to you when you decide to drop the df. We dropped it cold turkey after Tyler had been on solids for about 6 wks, but it took him 3-4 wks of being on solids to sleep through the night. You could go ahead and give it a try and see what happens...cold turkey or just gradually cut back a little every few nights. Good luck!
