DD2 is 3 months old and was sleeping a good 7 hour stretch in the beginning. Lately she's been waking up every 2 hours! I heard about the dream feed and thinking of trying it tonight. I've never tried it with DD1. She takes 4 ounce bottles during the day so I was going to try a 3 ounce bottle. Does that sound right? Any tips? Did a dream feed work for you?

We've done a dreamfeed right before DH and I go to bed ever since LO was born, pretty much. I nurse her so I don't know how many ounces she takes but I'd just try it and see how much she eats. I feel like it definitely helps her stay asleep longer to have that last fill-up before we go to bed.

Never worked for me. He was in such a deep sleep when I tried to dream feed him that he wouldn't nurse! I tried on 2 different nights and gave up after. I had read that it works for some babies though so might still be worth a try.

@PawPrints: do you nurse just one side or both? I usually nurse DD but figure a bottle might be easier. (And I usually pump before going to bed so might not be much milk.) She guzzled down 3 ounces fast! Let's see how she sleeps tonight...

Just one side, but my DD is weird and has never been interested in feeding on both sides.
