Dropping early morning feed advice needed please

[miabl2]

Currently DS goes to bed at about quarter to 7 I wake him at 10 for a dream feed which is fine. He then wakes about 3 or 4 for another feed at which he really struggles because he is so windy, he forces down about 3oz and sleeps then till 7. He is however only taking about 1oz at this time because of the earlier feed. how do you go about getting rid of the 3am feed so that he has a good breakfast instead?

When I wanted to stop feeding my DD in the early hours, I just did exactly that.
When she woke up, I went to her, changed her nappy, gave her a cuddle, offered her a drink of water and tried to help her get back to sleep. I did anything other than feed her.

Obviously she cried for a while the first couple of nights, but soon got the message and even though she woke up, she no longer expected a feed.

It took a while for her to stop waking up altogether and to sleep through until the morning, but she no longer expected feeding so the periods she was awake for were much shorter.

How old is your DS? I stopped the night feeds when DD was 9 months old. By then she was big enough to make it through until morning without a feed.

Good luck with it.

Only 11 weeks and I wouldn't normally bother but he can't get back to sleep because the feed in the early hours really seems to hurt his stomach I was up for 3 hours last night and he only had 2 oz!!!

My 8 week old is similar. My first DD dropped the 3am feed around 12-14 weeks - 2nd DD is very windy - have you tried gripe water?

Horrid but ---- DD kept waking at 1am and only drinking about 1-3oz so when she woke up once I stroked her head and patted her back till she went back to sleep. The next night I just sat there and the night after I didn't move from bed (she could still see me and knew I was watching her) after 3 nights she's never woken since.
