Hi everyone,
Hope you can help. My baby is 4 months old and was sleeping every night from 7pm to 3am then feeding, going back to sleep for 3 hours, feeding again and then finally waking up at 9am. so not too bad.
I spoke to a friend about 2 weeks ago who suggested dream feeding her at 11pm so she would sleep through till 7am.To me this sounded like a great idea. We tried it and it didn't work, she still woke at the usual time of 3am.
We then dropped it as it didn't work for us. Now she has started waking at 12pm/1am presumably because she was expecting a feed and then every 3 hours after this. She also now doesn't go back to sleep from around 6am either!
So now we are dream feeding her even though it doesn't make her sleep longer because if we don't she wakes at 12/1 and it's exhausting.
Has anyone else foolishy done this?! and is there any advice for how we either get her to sleep through or drop the dream feed and get her back on schedule to sleep from 7pm till 3am?
I wish I had never done dream feeding!
