Dream feeding?

[HadALittleFaithBaby]

DD is 8 weeks old. She is EBF on demand, has one bottle of EBM at 6ish with DH who also does bath. She usually feeds quite a bit after her bottle - I think partly for comfort. She goes down between 8.30-10 usually. Last night we had interruption to what vaguely resembles routine because we went out. She finished feeding at 11 but slept til 6.10am! Is it worth trying to dream feed her about 10.30/11 if she's settled by 9.30?

I've never been convinced by the dream-feeding malarkey, tbh. If you're happy with feeding her, what's to be gained by doing something that she doesn't initiate herself?

Yeah I go round in circles about it so I haven't actually done it! Last night it took til 10pm to settle her but she slept til 6.30! I think I'll just feed her as she wants and go with it if she does wake in the night. I've had two nights with her sleeping through so I'm grateful for that! :)

She's still so young. Ds is 6mo and fed four times last night between 7 and 6:30 so I wouldn't risk ruining the good thing you've got going!

Also I dreamfed him at 9 because I was so engorged on one side but he still woke at 10

Ok it's decided I'll let her carry on as she is! Last night she fed til 10 but slept til 6.30 so she's obviously ok. If she starts to settle loads earlier like 7pm I'll reconsider but I don't think it's worth disturbing her at present. Thanks for your help :)

You will probably find that once she stops cluster feeding she will gradually bring her bedtime earlier all by herself, ds did I think it's quite clever!

I am looking forward to the end of cluster feeding! I do miss my evenings!
