Need some advice please!

Twins are 12 weeks today (9 corrected) and currently have last bottle at 7-730 ish. They will then sleep anywhere till 1-3am and then wake again at 5 or 6 but go back down again.

Is it too late to try dream feed? Also if last bottle at 730 - would dream feed at 1030 be too early? Want to eat babies last bottle at 630 but no way can put both to bed (and ds1 who is 4) without dh who isn't home until 715.

Twins feed 3hrly in day and take 4-5 oz. self settle well and go straight back down after night feed

Hi bellabingbong, definitely not too late to introduce a dream feed- we did with our DS around 3 months-ish. 10.30 isn’t too late, I think it’s generally supposed to be around 10-11pm so around 10.30 sounds spot on. Hopefully they’ll have their 1am feed later and then just wake up in the morning. Either way, it’s worth a try. Let us know how you get on- good luck!

Go for it! I think it was around 3 months we started the dreamfeed for ours. I think it quite quickly resulted in them going to about 4ish am for the night feed then back down till 7/8ish. By 5 months my daughter wasn’t waking up till actual morning following dream feed (son we ended up stopping dream feed as couldn’t get him back to sleep!)
