Dream Feeding

[Linzi]

Ive never tried it with Seth but it might be an idea... he's nearly 4 months and not sleeping through.

Is there anything to it? Or do you just try and put it in their mouth? lol

We just put the bottle in her mouth But we usually change her diaper first which wakes her up slightly so she's not completely asleep. She eats what she wants, we burp her and she goes back down pretty much immediately...It is nice because than we get 6 or so hours of uninterrupted sleep!

I guess I should say that Hannah usually has a bath and bottle between 7-8 and we put her in her bed, than do the dream feed around 10:30

My son slept through the night at 6 weeks until he was 6 months (and he's been a hellish sleeper since)...he was EBF that entire time. I would dream feed him around 10pm if he was stirring in his crib, but normally, I'd let him sleep as much as possible. I would probably continue dream feeding until your LO is atleast 3 months, and then maybe try and cut it out.

i really want to try this but am so scared he'll fully awke up and refuse to go back to sleep!...though i shouldnt worry as even when i feed him at 3am I'm pretty sure he doesnt fully wake up...maybe i'll be brave and try it this week
