When shall I get rid of the dream feed?

My son is 14 weeks old and currently has a feed before we go to bed around 10:30. He is always extremely sleepy with this feed but does sleep then untill around 08:30-09:00.
Some advice would be great on when to drop the 10:30 feed? It's not a problem to feed him then as we have him in a lovely routine. Was just wondering if anybody else has been in a similar situation Smile
TIA

I would slowly bring the last feed forward by, say 15 mins a week until it's so close to the evening feed that you can drop it.

With all of mine I just started giving the dream feed a bit earlier every week until I got down to around 7pm for a supper feed.

Your baby is sleeping through, you are very lucky, I think that it is risky to mess with that. The 10.30 feed could become a 3am feed...
The four month sleep regression could be with you soon - not all babies get it. Don't change anything for a while would be my advice. If it ain't broke don't fix it!

I didn't drop the dream feed til mine were well established on solids so around 7 months!!
I was too petrified it would mess things up!!

I dropped 10.30 dream feed at 10 months as was recommended in the book I followed. It went fine. Then went from 7-7.

Just drop it one night and see what happens if he wakes at 3am the you know he's not ready and keep dream feeding. Just try it once in a while and when he doesn't wake then stop doing it
