Should I wake to feed or leave him to sleep.

[malteaserbunny]

I have an 11 week old DS who is bottle fed. We had got into the routine of bath and feeding at 7.30 ish then he wakes every 3/4 hours for a feed. If I stay up and feed at 10/11ish then it only means getting up once in the middle of the night and he generally wakes up for the day at 6 or 7. This has been going well. The other night though he slep from 7 until nearly 4am. Obviously I am delighted, however I wouldnt mind that time being from the 11pm feed. Should I wake him tonight to feed him or just let him sleep......
Did a dream feed last night but then he still woke at 4-any ideas or advice?

Thanks in advance.

I just left mine to sleep- getting her to sleep was such an issue. She did a few 'flukey' I thought nights like this, but then did a proper sleep through at 12 weeks! I think he'll get it anyway, but the only dreamfeeding in our house was me in a total zombie-like state, not DD!!!!!! I would say if the dream feed didn't help I wouldn't bother.

Oh, and I'm having big regression of sleep (well, bedtime) issues at 14 months, so I've clearly not got the answers!!!!

Thanks for your response dreamfeeder, havent a clue what to do really! Just taking each night as it comes......

The dreamfeed doesn't work for all babies, it made no difference to her waking/feeding rhythm. Or sometimes made it worse. Plus I appreciated being able to sleep earlier. Whatever works for you and your baby!
