Firstly, I'm not complaining. My girl is a fab sleeper who after her 10/10:30pm dream feed sleeps through to 6/7 am.
She still wakes up for her dreamfeed (I've tried just leaving her but she always wakes up before midnight for a feed). She's also still taking 5 - 7 oz which makes me think she's still hungry.
She's on solids and takes 3 meals a day with a 3 course dinner plus occassional snacks - today she had weetabix, french toast, some rice crackers, chilli, fruit and a ginger biscuit. Bottle wise, she'll have 5 - 7 oz when she wakes up and maybe a few oz at 10 am and again in the late afternoon before taking 7oz before bed and then her dream feed.
I know she should still be having 20 oz a day but it seems like most of this is concentrated in the evening - I've tried offering more milk during the day but she's not interested.
Part of me likes the fact that we get another week cuddle before bedtime but I also don't want it to become habit rather than necessity.
Should I just keep going and hope that she drops it herself?
