dreamfeeding

I dont know how im supposed to do it. Roman keeps his lips tightly closed and just wont take the bottle.

Is it also correct that you dont wind them? Im just struggling to dreamfeed.

We never did the dreamfeed with DD, once she was asleep she didn't like to be disturbed. I tried it once when she hadn't eaten since 6 p.m. and it ended with her being very unhappy. We just let her tell us when she was hungry. At that age she'd normally wake 2x per night - usually around 1-2 and then between 4-5. She started dropping the 1-2 feeding around 8 weeks and slept through til the 4-5 feed by 12 weeks. Her last bottle before bed would have been anywhere between 7-9 p.m. Sounds like your DS isn't interested in it, aybe just let him wake when he's ready for a feed and see how that goes.

Keep trying, he might take it eventually. Ruby refused at first...
I just stand up and pat Ruby gently and sometimes she burps sometimes she doesn't. The idea is, that they're so relaxed they don't gulp down any air...
