With him, I also did a dream feed. </p> <p>LO#2 is a totally different baby! Tried to dream feed, she will have none of it! So I nurse her whenever she wants and then wait until she wakes to feed her again (last night she gave me 5.5 hrs before she need to eat again) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dropping-the-nurse-to-sleep-feeding#post-674461 Thu, 28 Mar 2013 16:16:44 +0000 ladyfingers 674461@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I feed LO when he wakes up from his last nap - usually around 5:30 or 6 - then we give him his bath at 6:30 and I nurse him to sleep. Its typically a pretty long feed because he's sleepy and after he finishes the first side, I swaddle him then give him the second side and he falls asleep while nursing.</p> <p>He's 8 weeks on Saturday and is usually asleep by 7:30/8 and sleeps anywhere from 4-6 hours for his first stretch of the evening. I'm wondering when I should think about dropping that second cluster feed, since I don't really know how much he's getting from it or how necessary it is. I'm in no hurry since I know he can't put himself to sleep yet, but I was curious:</p> <p>If you cluster fed in the evenings, when did you stop, and how long before bed was your last feed?</p> <p>Related questions -- how did you get LO to sleep? And did you do a dream feed? </p>
