Dreamfeed didn't work for us either. We tried to stick it out and change the time we offered it but it seemed he always woke up for it before we went in. We dropped it!! I also BF but I pumped some milk and had my husband do the DF with the bottle. That way it is a little easier to get the nipple into their mouth and you can get some more sleep! Maybe you could try that if you want to continue

Your daughter is gorgeous!

Yes, as I stated the DF didn't work for me (I even tried it again last night only cause he was off a little in feedings and I had to feed him again and he woke all night- never again). It took three days for me to get him back after I dropped the DF. Just be sure you really concentrated on getting the routine back and she will be fine.

So for those dropping the DF, are you just waiting for your LOs to wake for food?  Do you find there are less wakings?  How old are they and how many feeds are they having overnight?

Here is the d/feeding guide. There is a post here about how to STOP the dreamfeed.
