Infant feeding

Should I drop dream feed?

My son is 3.3 months old and is smashing. I dream feed (breastfed baby) each night at about 10:30 and he sleeps right through until about 6:30 when he wakes up and babbles, coos etc.

However, he doesn't seem to be at all hungry in the mornings now and will only feed for about 5 minutes or so first thing and then eat again (nit fir very long though) at about 10.

He seems to take in a lot at the dream feed - I just wonder whether it would be better for him to eat more in the morning because I heard that the composition of morning milk is even more beneficial? Or should I leave well alone because he's sleeping so well at night?

I'd be leaving well alone! Only my opinion as DS fed every two hours round the clock until he was 10 months old. As he grows the feeding pattern will change but feeding last thing at night before you go to sleep is the best way for you to get as much rest as possible... he sounds lovely!

sounds like you could leave him but he might wake at 3-4 and then that would push his morning feeds way off. If youvarexwatching feeds that is.
I just fed whenever he wanted and did a dreamfeed still do sometimes and he is 14 mths...
try him without you can always go back to it?
