Dream feed not working?

[LilPeasMama]

Hi all,

DS is now 17weeks and has been sleeping through since 8weeks.
He was having 3hr feeds and the hv recently suggested pushing him onto 4hrs as he is draining 9oz bottles.

Bedtime is at 7pm and I would wake him at 11 for a dream feed but he has then been waking at 4ish for another feed.
Last night I decided to leave DS to wake naturally which I thought maybe about 2ish, he woke at 7.30am

At this point he would only be having 4 bottles instead of 5, should I carry on with the dream feed or let baby wake himself?

Personally I'd leave him to wake. The dream feed never worked for mine and the current advise is to feed on cue, whether that's bfing or ffing.

Thanks for the reply,
he obviously doesn't like a dream feed as fed baby last night at 7pm left him to wake and that was at 6.45am this morning.
