Dream feed ? Does it work for you, how/when did you start ?
Hi, Archie is 5wks old and for the last week or so he's been bedtime feed at 7-7.30, waking for a feed at 2am and then again at 6.30am. So I was wondering if we could try the dream feed and would he sleep through ?
I've read tons of baby books, I like to soak up all the info, and I'm adopting some bits and pieces from all of them (I've read loads !) Anyway I've read the Baby Whisperer and she advises that you can start doing it from 6wks but I'm not sure what's involved. Should I wait a wee while until this routine we're in (which isn't too bad) has totally bedded in.
Would be good to hear from people that have tried it before I start trying to wake him when he's happy enough to sleep till 2am.
Or is there another way I can get him to drop the 2am bottle ? Feed more at bedtime ? Thanks. Suz x

It was actually really good cos we didnt have to settle her again afterwards. I hope its ok to do to a 3 week old though!
now however he's in full swing teething so has started waking about about 3/4am just for the sake of it!!! usually a top up of bonjela but it's still a pain!!!
As for the stopping the feeds, Jason decided that himself! he just stopped taking the bottles n after a couple of nights of him doing it we just went straight to bed!

It is worth a try though, all babies are different.
Just for the record lo is usually bf but, would have bottle for his dream feed.
