Time to drop dreamfeed?

[PippaG]

Currently my DS has a dreamfeed at 10:30pm, he's 5 months old. If we manage to do a proper dreamfeed with him being sleepy he'll take a maximum of 80ml, last night it was just about 60ml and he still slept all night through.

If I have to change his nappy and he wakes up properly then he can take up to 180ml.

So ladies do you think I should try to drop this feed? 90% of the time we are getting him up for the feed, he isn't crying for it. If we should drop it, do I do it gradually bringing the time forward or just go cold turkey and stop altogether.

Without this bottle he would be having 4 others of 240ml and occasionally a taste of solids at lunch, is this enough?

You could try it and see how you go.... I'm hoping to also drop the midnight dream feed miss DD2 is currently having....

Let us know how you go!

you could firstly try giving the smaller amounts sooner....ie, go to 10pm, then 9.30 then 9 then cut it out.

That's what i did with DS and what the sleep clinic told me to do

Smaller amounts sooner.

I know if i feed them at 9pm instead of 10 they'll sleep till 3.30am not 2am. I still offer the same amount though
