Weaning and Dreamfeeding

[huggybear]

LO decided he didnt want most of his dreamfeed 6 weeks ago so we nipped it in the bud, but for the last week he has been waking at 3am for a bottle and he guzzles 7oz, this is a shock to the system after his sleeping through, plus he now is having 4 bottles rather than the 3, these are all 7 oz so he is chuffing down the milk, i thought 28oz is too much and 3 meals a day, he is a chunk but i am not sure how to proceed from here, do i start dreamfeeding again.. any advice greatfully received. x

ummm, i would try a dream feed again so you don't have to get up at 3am. I'm not much help mind as Noah is BF so wouldn't have a clue on the 28oz of milk question. He also wakes up loads in the night x

That would seem to be too much milk for a 9 month old. Could you fit a solid snack in somewhere? Have you asked your HV? Mine was adamant that Ruby was on too much milk when she was taking 24oz...

I did think it too much milk, he will not take anymore food or milk during the day, I did try adding the 3-4pm bottle again but he doesnt want it, will ask the HV what she sugguest x
