Baby unsettled after dream feed

4 replies

Hi there
Just looking for some advice for my 10 month old. The time of his dream feed varies but he seems unsettled afterwards. Last night he had two feeds within the space of a few hours, some nights it's just one but then he always seems to squirm about and be restless after having the feed. The first part of the night he sleeps soundly. Should I offer water instead of milk? I don't think he should be having two bottles in the night? I normally just take his lead but am struggling with the sleepless nights and wondering if we can do anything to help

Does he need a dream feed?

I'd guess that at 10 months he's waking out of habit, not hunger, so the dream feed wouldn't prevent any wake ups.

He does take it but yes I think maybe it is habit. Would you suggest just offering water? I'm not sure how to cut the feed out

I'm no expert, but I'd just stop it all together and see what happens!
