Dreamfeed

Looking for support please 😁

We have done a dream feed since about 5 months old and it stopped the middle of night feed...she's now just over 6 months old.

When she's been having her df she will take 2oz but occasionally 6/7oz.

She wakes at 530am, not hungry. Just not tired anymore bless her. She chills and babbles. Light dozing in this time. I can see her through out as she sleeping in travel cot right next to our bed 😴

I feed and get up about 7. The issue I'm having is she is taking about 90mls then an hour later another 90mls. Which isn't her norm. I would like to keep 7am ish feed, I don't really want to move later.

Also after df she's not really settling, she's staying awake for about an hour sometimes 2 - only happened last few days.

She normally takes about 150mls to 180mls at a time during the day then up to 60mls (remaining of bottle) about an hour later.

I was thinking to brave it and drop this df about 11pm. Then she might actually be hungry in the morning? And won't be unsettled after the df?

Please share your wisdom 😁

I did do it 2 nights running.

1st night - woke at 11pm. But i woke up like lightning and popped dummy in. Didn't hear from her till 6am 😳😳 she only had 90mls.but thought I would try again.

2nd night. Woke at 530am.went back off to sleep at 630am woke about 710am and had like 180mls 😳😳

So far so good. Will see tonight 😂 am trying to squeeze in another bottle or at least a top up somewhere in the day.

Hello,

I'm looking for advice, Has anyone downsized a Teat for their Newborn babies? We were using a MAM Bottle with a Size 1 Teat and this evening I accidentally fed her with a Size 0 Teat. I noticed that she settled straight after, she didn't have any gulping sounds etc or spitting up when drinking it and no milk coming up after, I'm now starting to feel like a bad parent, thinking I have caused all these tears, grunting and possible reflux by using the wrong Teat! Confused
