Hi,
My boy is 4 and a half months old and has been bottle fed from 2 months old. I currently feed him 35 ounces per 24hours, divided up into 5 feeds (7oz per feed). He feeds at 7.30am, 11am, 2.30pm, 6pm and then goes to bed at 7, and then i do a dreamfeed at 10pm, which he sort of wakes up for but is very sleepy, but wolfs the whole down without opening his eyes.
Please can someone let me know when i should stop the dream feed, how i should stop it, and what's the best way of going about getting the same amount of milk into him within the 24hours.
Many thanks

I wouldn't think of stopping the dream feed for a while

Most peopolekeep it until solid a Are well established at 7/8 months or even longer

If he is wolfing it down he needs it

He is still very young

Still giving a dreamfeed at almost 12 months old. I would keep offering it until it was very apparent that it was not wanted. Better that than them waking up crying because they are hungry. HTH
