Dream feed and sleep

[Danii4]

Ok so my LO is 9 weeks old this Sat! She feeds every 3-4 hours on formula (has slight reflux but is on gaviscon and is fine)
The last week she has been going to bed at 7/7.30 as she does better being in bed rather then lying sleeping in the lounge and it means that I can have a bit of me time. I decided to make her last feed a dream feed at around 10pm! Started off great she took 3-4 ounces and then slept 5.5/6 hours, however now I’m lucky if I can get an ounce in her and she is then wanting another bottle by 2am. Is there something I could alter? I can’t physically go to bed any later especially when partner is offshore as I’m exhausted

We don’t do dream feeds. Some babies sleep after it but some wake up more often afterwards. We just wait for him to wake up and feed him then as he’s hungry

I would just feed baby when they wake up. Sometimes dream feeds work for babies and other times they don’t

We tried dream feeding but it just made her unsettled thought the night! My advice is go to bed whenever suits you and feed when she wakes up in the night

She’s still super little. I found a dream feed worked wonders with Dd when she was about 4months ish.

At the moment I would just keep feeding on demand if you can. Her sleep isn’t linear, so even if she sleeps well for a while it can all go to shit again.

Best thing I ever did was just try not to worry about it too much. No sleep is torture I know, but it does get better eventually!

I had one who would dream feed at 9pm then sleep until 7am, and one who dream feed didn't work for, but fell asleep by 8pm, so I would just go to bed then and get up at 2am for middle of the night feed.

I tried that too, dreamfeed at 11pm and he still woke at 2am for a bottle so I gave up dreamfeed very quickly! It works well for some babies but never die for mine
