Dreamfeeding

[cutiepiekai]

I have been giving my DS a dream feed at night before i go to bed for a few months now. He is 7 months old and is now on 3 small meals a day so i decided to wean of the dream feed, but now he is waking up earlier in the mornings and is really unhappy, also wakes occasionally through the night after previously sleeping all the way through. Im thinking of starting the dream feeds again as he is also not drinking his bottles very well during the day, is lucky to get 4x200ml and thats a battle.
Just wondering what others who dreamfeed have done, how long did you continue to give a dream feed for? Also how much formula does/did your child have at this age?
I dont mind feeding him before i go to bed just wondering if its really necessary and what others have done. Any tips would be great thanks!

at that age my DS was drinking 150ml x 3 a day. 2 bottles were during the day and then 1 before bed. we used to do a dreamfeed before we went to bed then stopped it as realised it wasnt making much of a difference however he needs feeding about 130-2am now otherwise wont go back to sleep. have tried to dreamfeed again before bed but always wakes at that time. since the sun is up earlier aswell though he doesnt sleep in always up between 430am and 5am to start the day.
sorry no real tips i think every bub is different.
