Dreamfeeders: when did you stop once on solids?

Just curious! We want to phase out the 11pm dreamfeed but DD (7 months) can still down quite a lot (220 ml some nights). Last night she only wanted a wee bit so I am wondering. Thanks!

i think when phasing out the dreamfeed you gradually decrease it by 1oz (every 4/5 days) and also bring it 10 mins earlier every few days. I am sure i read how to do it somewhere. However i just decided to cut it out as my DD seemed to wake up too much, she was younger though.

ds is 25 wks and still only on purees once a day. we decreased the dreamfeed 2 3oz a while ago & last night just cut it out. he was fine. it made absolutely no difference. what time is her bedtime bottle? i've known people both phase it out & others just stop it. you only have to give it a couple of nights to see if she doesn't need it!!

Thanks for your responses. DH aims to feed her at 11pm but sometimes does it closer to midnight, and I've noticed that she's less likely to sleep through then. Weird. I'll bring it forward tonight and see what happens.
