Dream feed with colicy baby?

1 reply

I have a 12 week old son who is still very windy and colicy. I would like to start introducing a dream feed around 10.30pm. Do you think this is wise or should I wait till he's a bit older and has grown out of the windy phase?
He's currently mix fed so would like to do this with a bottle.
Thanks

I mostly do dream feeds but introduce them very early on, I think at 12 weeks I'd just let them sleep.

Baby one - started going to bed at 7pm at six weeks, dream feed 11pm, feed 2am and 5am and awake for day. At 10 weeks stop dream feed - he woke at 2am and 5am then 2am merged into 5am and then got closer to 7am by 12 weeks.

Baby two - just finished my time with her, she was having dream feed at 11pm and waking at 3 am and 5.30am. Stopped dream feed and she goes through until 5/6am!!! she is eight weeks.

Maybe try for a week and see what happens.
