Hi
DD is 8.5 months, breastfed 3 times a day, 1st thing, bedtime and dreamfeed. on 3 good meals a day plus snacks. She only started sleeping through in the New Year, but then got a nasty virus just as I was going to wean off dream feed. Now back to normal for last 10 days or so and sleeping really deeply at 10.30. Think ready to stop dream feed but not sure how to go about it. With DS I just reduced amount gradually as he was bottle fed. With DD being breastfed not sure whether to just stop or gradually make it earlier and earlier so that increases hours of sleep and decreases amount as more full from bedtime feed. Would appreciate anyones comments or advice.
Thanks
