Dream feeds
Hi just wondering if anyone does/has tried dream feeding?
Was sooooooooooo pleased when at 11 weeks Roisin went for a whole week only having one night feed, bliss! But now she has obv changed her mind and gone back to 2, boo hoo
(please be a growth spurt!) Now considering trying a dream feed when I go to bed as she goes down at 8ish which is lovely. Scared of disturbing her and waking her for the night though...
Dream feeds: yay or nay???

She is asleep in her crib by 7pm, and I take her out, change her nappy and feed her when I go up to bed which can be anytime from 10pm-11.30pm. She then sleeps through until 6am-7.30am.
She is awkward to wind following the feed, but falls back into a deep sleep as soon as her put her back in her crib.
Hope this helps,

Hubby does dreamfeed, he gets Reuben up doesn't do nappy doesn't wake him feeds him then straight back down, Reuben is pretty easy to wind, although I have read you don't need to wind if baby takes milk asleep has they are that relazed?
We've always woken Alfie about 11pm for a last feed and he's slept through until 8am since he was 6wk old! He goes down straight after his feed (we wind him first) and he drifts off straight away.
I'd definitely recommend it!
