Length of Dream Feed
« on: November 14, 2006, 22:34:46 pm »
I just wanted to know how long dream feeds should last.  At the moment I do about 20 mins and he takes about 40/60ml of formula milk with the feed.  Is this enough??

Hi Ninoes,

Welcome to the boards.

At a dreamfeed I would just feed until your lo has had enough.  They will stop drinking when they are full.

My lo's dream feed usually lasted about 5-15min and he took anywhere from 2-8oz (sorry, I don't know mL).  It seemed like he would make up for the day.  If he drank a lot that day his DF would be small.  If he didn't drink much, then his DF would be big.  I would usually offer him a bottle that had the same amount that I put in his other bottles.

Hope that helps.
