Fussy mom!  Glad to hear that dh is getting a laugh out of us!  That was intended to make him and you laugh...but it is partly true!  Of course...I WILL accept that hug ;)  Don't worry, fussy mom! :P  My husband is not worried...(more teasing)

Personally I did not drop the dream feed until solids were well established...and we didn't even start cereal till it was recommended at 6 months.  I think we stopped DF at 7 months...cuz she was a good eater.

Sounds like he is learning very well how to sleep and settle on his own in his crib!  Great job...you will notice that you will spend less time doing pu/pd!

Keep up the good work and I hope you have a good night again :)  You're such a great Mom!

So glad that things are starting to come together for you!  We didn't drop the dreamfeed until around 9 months, I think.  The reason that I kept it up was simply because I enjoyed the quiet time.  I think you should keep on the schedule w/ the dream feed around 10ish  until you are ready to stop it or as its recommended around 6-7 months.  That way, you should have a better idea if he is waking just for food or for something else.  At this point, I would not worry about doing anything w/ the dream feed right now.  Just continue focusing on the night wakings.  Besides, he is due for another growth spurt around the 6 month mark and he'll be wanting more bf. 

Your husband is very funny.  I am glad he is being supportive since you deserve that very much!  (((Big Hugs))) to you both!  You're doing great!

Aww.. you've done such a great job!  I'm so proud of what you've been able to accomplish!  As for moving his bedtime later, try the shorter increments of 15-30 minutes at a time.  That way, he'll be able to adjust better.  :D  I'm so happy for you!  Your hubby must be very pleased too!  Congrats!
