Don't worry about it being too much for him because he won't drink if he doesn't need it. Also, just 2 tbls of cereal a day isn't much, so I wouldn't rush to cut out the dreamfeed. Most usually drop the dreamfeed around 7 months when solids are well established. And, when the dreamfeed is dropped you add in those ounces throughout the day. It is a transition to cut the dreamfeed so that the baby gets use to taking more during the day, so as not to cause night wakings due to hunger. Tracy suggests cutting 1 oz of the dreamfeed every 3 days and adding that oz to the bottles during the day. Also, when you cut an oz you also do the dreamfeed 30 min earlier. So essentially the baby is getting less and less, earlier and earlier until you are done with it. Does that make sense? I hope this helps. Let me know if you have more questions.
