dream feed and night waking
« on: May 28, 2006, 05:35:05 am »
i started to do the dream feed last night, i went in at 10pm he took about 40z then wouldn't take any more so i tried again 15 Min's later still he wouldn't have any more.
my question, he then woke at 12.30 and 1.30 then again at 5.30am and wouldn't go back down, his wakings were worse than normal should this be expected when first implementing the df? and if so will it improve ;D

Its normal for them to change there sleep patern when you fist introduce the dreamfeed. One thing that may help, go in at 10:30 instead of 10. If after a week (5days or more) it hasn't improved then you may need to drop the dreamfeed. But give it a good week to kick in first. HTH

WELL I HAVE NOW BEEN DOING THE DF FOR 4 NIGHTS, MON NIGHT LOOKED LIKE THIS, DF 10.30PM 5OZ HE THEN WOKE AT 1.30PM
MY QUESTION AFTER NIGHT 1 HE WOKE AT 2.30AM (NIGHT2) NIGHT 3 HE WOKE AT 3AM.

BUT NIGHT 4 WAS A BIT OF A WASH OUT HE WOKE AT 1.30 4.30 AND 5.15 I FED HIM HALF A BOTTLE AT 5.15 THEN THE OTHER HALF AT 7 AM(NEW BOTTLE), BUT HE HAD JUST HAD THE 3RD CYCLE OF IMMUNISATIONS SO COULD OF BEEN THAT.

APART FROM NIGHT 4 IS THIS THE SORT OF THING THAT SHOULD BE HAPPENING?
