What is a dream feed?

[Stefka]

Sorry if this is a stupid question but I keep seeing this phrase on the board and I don't really get what it means. What is a dream feed?

I take it to mean, as I did, I used to wake dd to feed before I went to bed at about 2230/2300 because if she woke up to be fed on her own it would be 0200/0300hrs. This meant she got 'refilled' and lasted until 0630. This stopped me from having to get up in the small hours.
