Eventually he dropped that MOTN wake-up so that his 7-8 hour stretch of sleep was from 10:00 to 5:00, which is when I wanted to sleep too. So it worked for me! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dreamfeed-help-would-you#post-2006293 Fri, 02 Jan 2015 07:05:18 +0000 illumina 2006293@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wouldn't. I stopped dreamfeeding around 4 months because I read that the first stretch of their night sleep in the most important and DF-ing interrupts that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dreamfeed-help-would-you#post-2006246 Fri, 02 Jan 2015 03:56:02 +0000 Mrs tartan 2006246@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Adira: i feel the same way about moving the 8 hour sleep to match mine, sometimes I'm up again anyway after a dreamfeed at 4am so I just don't know whether getting up twice defeats the purpose, or if he will eventually always sleep throug after a dreamfeed. Just now is about 50/50 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dreamfeed-help-would-you#post-2006243 Fri, 02 Jan 2015 03:45:51 +0000 Adira 2006243@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would! I'd want to shift that 8 hour stretch to align with my sleep! Much rather do a feed at 10/11 than 3:30! Good luck with whatever you decide. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dreamfeed-help-would-you#post-2006157 Thu, 01 Jan 2015 23:52:33 +0000 Mrs. Deer 2006157@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wouldn't! We're only getting a 4 hour stretch as the longest of the night so that sounds pretty good to me! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dreamfeed-help-would-you#post-2006146 Thu, 01 Jan 2015 23:39:41 +0000 wonderstruck 2006146@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wouldn't. Sounds like a good time to let him stop on his own before the dream feed becomes a habit that you have to work hard to break. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dreamfeed-help-would-you#post-2006140 Thu, 01 Jan 2015 23:22:03 +0000 Mae 2006140@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wouldn't. If you're waking up to feed either way, why not let him lead? Maybe he'll drop the feed on his own at some point sooner than you would've dropped the dream feed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dreamfeed-help-would-you#post-2006138 Thu, 01 Jan 2015 23:20:25 +0000 blackbird 2006138@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wouldn't If you're good with the 330 feed! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dreamfeed-help-would-you#post-2006135 Thu, 01 Jan 2015 23:18:36 +0000 Mrs tartan 2006135@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ok I need some advice, what would you do? My son is 14 weeks old. We have been dreamfeeding at 10.30/11pm each night in the hope he will sleep through until 7am. Sometimes he makes it, sometimes he wakes once for a very small feed. I'm usually so tired that I'm asleep before his dreamfeed and set my alarm to get up (I won't do this once he sleeps 11-7). Tonight my alarm didn't go off, he slept 7.30pm -3.30am, had a bottle and back to sleep until 7am. Do I go back to the dreamfeed or not? Would you? </p>
