I don't really wake him, I just put the nipple in his mouth (bottle) and after a couple of second, he just goes at it! I don't know if it would work the same for bfing or not. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dreamfeed-any-advice-have-you-done-it#post-799491 Tue, 21 May 2013 22:09:04 +0000 Mrs. Pen 799491@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@PurpleUnicorn: we did it bbetween 4-6 months and it didn't lessen the amount of night wakings. </p> <p>Then I tried it again recently at 12 months and now he is permanently waking up at 6:30am when he used to sleep until 8:30am! It's been a couple months and his sleep never went back to what it was. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dreamfeed-any-advice-have-you-done-it#post-799490 Tue, 21 May 2013 22:08:57 +0000 blackbird 799490@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was doing one for awhile in the beginning with a bottle. She would just eat in her sleep. We stopped doing it when her bedtime just naturally started to align with her 9pm feeding. It's also when I turn in, give or take an hour. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dreamfeed-any-advice-have-you-done-it#post-799473 Tue, 21 May 2013 21:57:38 +0000 PurpleUnicorn 799473@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Pen: oh no :( how old was your LO when you tried it? have you tried anything else since? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dreamfeed-any-advice-have-you-done-it#post-799454 Tue, 21 May 2013 21:47:58 +0000 Mrs. Pen 799454@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Unfortunately it wasn't a success for us! Instead it made him get up MORE. I have ruined his sleep! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dreamfeed-any-advice-have-you-done-it#post-799452 Tue, 21 May 2013 21:46:13 +0000 PurpleUnicorn 799452@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@yoursilverlining: how did u do in the beginning? did u ever do it without a bottle? i just did mine. took him out of his crib and onto bed (there is also a bed in his room) and fed him. he was pretty sound asleep, so he sucked, but not sure how much he drank. i guess i will see how the rest of the night goes! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dreamfeed-any-advice-have-you-done-it#post-799392 Tue, 21 May 2013 21:19:02 +0000 yoursilverlining 799392@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO is almost a year and we still do a dreamfeed (have done one from the start). I don't think she needs it, but she goes nuts for it in her sleep, so I still give it to her. I don't pick her up, just pop in the bottle and she downs it in her sleep. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dreamfeed-any-advice-have-you-done-it#post-799316 Tue, 21 May 2013 20:47:58 +0000 PurpleUnicorn 799316@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Navy_Mommy: sounds good! now that i think about it, i think we have a good chance. i was out of town a couple of weeks ago and he always fell asleep in the car and before i went to sleep each night, i would feed him and he went right back to sleep....but still woke a few hours later, but that could have been due to a number of factors since we were OOT and he had to sleep in his pnp... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dreamfeed-any-advice-have-you-done-it#post-799304 Tue, 21 May 2013 20:44:21 +0000 Navy_Mommy 799304@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He's now almost 14 months old, lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dreamfeed-any-advice-have-you-done-it#post-799303 Tue, 21 May 2013 20:43:47 +0000 Navy_Mommy 799303@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did with DS for months. From what I understand either it'll work or it won't depending on your kid so just give it a try! I still do if DS is asleep in the car and I wanna transfer him to his crib.. .as soon as I pull him from his seat my boob goes in his mouth and I walk upstairs with him like that, lol. Works 99% of the time! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dreamfeed-any-advice-have-you-done-it#post-799297 Tue, 21 May 2013 20:40:54 +0000 PurpleUnicorn 799297@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>L used to STTN....not anymore! i guess we hit this so called 4 month sleep regression (but it started closer to 5 months) and it just got worse and worse. I've also been working on moving L's bedtime from 10pm to 8pm. Tonight was one of the first nights he is successfully asleep by 8pm, yay! However, he has also been waking up anywhere from 12-2am. I go to sleep around 11pm and that first wake up has just been killing me! So i am thinking to do a dream feed around 10 or 10:30pm tonight. I am just afraid of waking him and him not going back to sleep!</p> <p>any success stories or tips for dreamfeeders?? </p>
