Nearly 5 month old advice on dream feed please

[BlueShirtGirl]

Hello, DD is almost 5 months. She slept from 7pm-2/3am, but wasn’t peacefully asleep in the latter hours (I mean she was wriggling/snuffling loudly!) so we introduced a dream feed at 10pm. This has made her more settled but she still wakes at 3pm and likes to chat away for a while now so I feel like I’m getting less sleep than before (I find it very hard to get back to sleep in the night).
Should I stop the 10pm dream feed as I’m effectively interrupting her sleep? I also always change her nappy before a feed-should I not do that each time?
She is FF and sleeps next to me in crib if that makes any difference.
Thanks.

Not sure about the dream feed issue but changing my 5 month old dd's nappy at night wakes her up and she thinks it's party time. So I use pampers at night because they hold a lot of wee (use lidl in the day) and don't change her unless she's done a poo. She goes back to sleep quickly after a feed.

If she’s waking anyway at 3am then I wouldn’t bother with the dream feed. I certainly wouldn’t change her nappy.

Mine's almost 5 months and I give him a dream feed at 11ish and he sleeps until 7:30.. I recently stopped changing his nappy as he'd wake up and it was so much harder to settle him after the 'dream' feed! Now I just pick him up, feed him then put him back in his next 2 me and it's so much easier. You could also see if doing the dream feed a bit later might help her sleep longer? X

Never ever change a nappy overnight unless it’s leaked or contains poo. Took me ages to work this out with my eldest.

Ahh great I’ll try not changing her! That might help keep us both sleepy.
