Just be sure to add the ounces to the daytime food. It usually takes about 3 days. http://www.minti.com/questions-and-answers/discussion/437765/dream-feed//#438480 http://www.minti.com/questions-and-answers/discussion/437765/dream-feed//#438480 Wed, 11 Jul 2007 08:28:51 -0700 MummaBear Sorry to be a pest, I have another question about this.  Is this method for those who have babies who currently wake through the night or is it used from birth to stop them waking later for a feed? Or is it for those who don't wake through the night for a feed who may need to have more to make ... http://www.minti.com/questions-and-answers/discussion/437765/dream-feed//#438245 http://www.minti.com/questions-and-answers/discussion/437765/dream-feed//#438245 Wed, 11 Jul 2007 04:03:18 -0700 toosh Thanks, I have always just fed when they wake. Nobody has ever mentioned this to me before, sounds quite interesting butmy youngest is 6 months tomorrow so it's a bit late to start now! hehe http://www.minti.com/questions-and-answers/discussion/437765/dream-feed//#438131 http://www.minti.com/questions-and-answers/discussion/437765/dream-feed//#438131 Wed, 11 Jul 2007 00:24:13 -0700 MummaBear Mine never had a 2am feed.  She would have a bed-time feed and be in bed from 6pm, wake at 10pm for a feed and sleep until 6am, then have another feed and sleep until 8am.  Then she dropped her 10pm feed at around 2 and half months and sleep from 6 til 6.  I figured if she was hungry ... http://www.minti.com/questions-and-answers/discussion/437765/dream-feed//#438047 http://www.minti.com/questions-and-answers/discussion/437765/dream-feed//#438047 Tue, 10 Jul 2007 23:32:16 -0700 cheekymonkey I think i stopped around the 6 month mark. I just gave it a try a couple of nights, and when he still slept thru till norlam time without it, I realised he didn't really need it any more. I only kept going this long because he stopped his 2am feed at 3weeks of age, and would sleep from 5pm-5am. http://www.minti.com/questions-and-answers/discussion/437765/dream-feed//#438046 http://www.minti.com/questions-and-answers/discussion/437765/dream-feed//#438046 Tue, 10 Jul 2007 23:29:13 -0700 Ngairi never heard of a dream feed, but am glad someone explained it. Might let my sister know about this one, her baby is not gaining weight at the moment.

Try what the others suggest, just stop and feed only if bubs wakes up.  You won't know yourself with the extra sleep Make sure you were some breast pads to bed though in ...

Make sure you were some breast pads to bed though in case you leak, and you might feel a little engorged in the morning - however that will begin to lessen as your body adjusts.]]> http://www.minti.com/questions-and-answers/discussion/437765/dream-feed//#437892 http://www.minti.com/questions-and-answers/discussion/437765/dream-feed//#437892 Tue, 10 Jul 2007 20:56:41 -0700 MummaBear I only fed mine when she woke for a feed, most of the time I left her sleep so that's really got me thinking.  I guess you could try stopping and if the baby wakes, the baby must still need it through the night. Put it off for another month and try again if that happens.  Do you wake the ... http://www.minti.com/questions-and-answers/discussion/437765/dream-feed//#437889 http://www.minti.com/questions-and-answers/discussion/437765/dream-feed//#437889 Tue, 10 Jul 2007 20:53:30 -0700 mrmia Dream feeding is feeding the baby while she's asleep, without waking her up.  It's usually recommended to be done before you go to bed and it is suppose to help the baby sleep longer through the night.  http://www.minti.com/questions-and-answers/discussion/437765/dream-feed//#437850 http://www.minti.com/questions-and-answers/discussion/437765/dream-feed//#437850 Tue, 10 Jul 2007 20:24:34 -0700 toosh What is dream feeding?
