Should a dreamfeed at 8 months old be stopped, she never sleeps through anyways!

Maybe I just breed children who don’t sleep through till they’re 18 months old... and my 8 month old has never slept through, but I need that to change! Any suggestions welcome please.

Should an 8 month old get a dream feed?
How do we phase out middle of night feeds without the crying waking up the rest of the house?
Confused

Our routine
1-2 naps in the day for as long as she wants either in cot, pram or out in the car
Bedtime at 7 with dummy
Dreamfeed at 10.30 even though she wakes half way through the feed
Wakes several times through night and gets given dummy again
Gets fed once in night when she wakes around or 4ish
Morning time at 6.30/7

Thank you Smile

I've got no idea! My 7.5 month old is still having a dream feed atm. Sometimes she takes a full feed and other times hardly anything and I think it's her way of catching up if she's missed some during the day (she gets easily distracted). We tried last month to stop the dream feed but had several nights of waking at 3am so started up again. No idea when we'll eventually drop it but I'll take my cue from her. Smile

Yes I think we will end up being like that and just seeing what she wants to do. But she’s the same - sometimes takes the full bottle sometimes doesn’t. There’s literally no way of predicting what the night will hold based on previous nights!!
