Adria, just wanted to make sure you read my reply on the june/july board, so I'm posting it here as well...
Adria, I think that Jency might be ready to drop a feeding and just do the snack. I was feeding Luke 4 bottles a day (we dropped the dreamfeed last month!!! ) with three meals and a snack. He's started to take less of his 10:30 bottle and so I just give him two ounces and a snack at that time. He still takes his other three bottles...the full amount, so it's good. I read another post on another board that refers to the newest book and it made the point that at this age we should start getting them more adjusted to a "kid" schedule as opposed to a "baby" schedule. At this age, they should start dropping bottles and moving to more solids and snacks. Jency will still get plenty of milk from his mama. Remember that he's getting older and doesn't need quite as much. I'll try to find the post...
OK Adria, I just read your post again, and I think that you might need to think about dropping the dream feed. BELIEVE ME I know that it's scary and that you're thinking "But he sleeps all night, I don't want to drop the dream feed b/c he'll get hungry!" I would start reducing it gradually. I don't know how to do that if you're breast feeding, but with the bottle, I would take away an ounce a night. Eventually he got to the point where he might take an ounce and then push the bottle away. Could you time it and just take away a minute each night? You want Jency's calories to be during the day as much as possible. It might also help with the night wakings, believe it or not. It did here. Another thing is, the yogurt might be upsetting his tummy just a little and he doesn't want to eat. I dunno....just some of my thoughts
