Xander ended up sleeping 10 hours 40 minutes without making a peep!!! Our longest stretch yet!! And he probably would have slept even longer, but I woke him up to eat before I go to work. Thanks you guys!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/question-8mo-didnt-eat-much-should-i-dreamfeed#post-1180510 Mon, 28 Oct 2013 20:49:02 +0000 sunshineandsushi 1180510@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would skip it as well. GL! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/question-8mo-didnt-eat-much-should-i-dreamfeed#post-1180504 Mon, 28 Oct 2013 20:47:13 +0000 Adira 1180504@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>You ladies convinced me! I skipped the dreamed and am about to go to bed myself! Fingers crossed that we both sleep until at least 5:00! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/question-8mo-didnt-eat-much-should-i-dreamfeed#post-1180452 Mon, 28 Oct 2013 20:12:44 +0000 Smurfette 1180452@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Didn't you send higher amounts in bottles? Maybe that is why he didn't want solids? I would skip it and see how he does. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/question-8mo-didnt-eat-much-should-i-dreamfeed#post-1180438 Mon, 28 Oct 2013 20:04:45 +0000 immabeetoo 1180438@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Adira: my LO is 11m and goes frequently through bouts of not really eating anything and swinging back to eating as much as I do. I wouldn't sweat it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/question-8mo-didnt-eat-much-should-i-dreamfeed#post-1180425 Mon, 28 Oct 2013 20:00:18 +0000 cmomma17 1180425@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Adira: oh I know! That's the tough part! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/question-8mo-didnt-eat-much-should-i-dreamfeed#post-1180422 Mon, 28 Oct 2013 19:58:38 +0000 junebugmama 1180422@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Adira: he may or may not. If you're that worried about it then don't skip it. However, my son doesn't wake up more if he hasn't eaten as much as normal (unless he's sick or teething) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/question-8mo-didnt-eat-much-should-i-dreamfeed#post-1180123 Mon, 28 Oct 2013 18:02:16 +0000 Adira 1180123@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cmomma17: I just don't want him to let me know he's hungry in the middle of the night if I can avoid it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/question-8mo-didnt-eat-much-should-i-dreamfeed#post-1180101 Mon, 28 Oct 2013 17:52:53 +0000 cmomma17 1180101@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd skip it. He will let you know if he's hungry. C has days here and there where he doesn't eat as much. Today he totally skipped his afternoon bottle!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/question-8mo-didnt-eat-much-should-i-dreamfeed#post-1180091 Mon, 28 Oct 2013 17:48:38 +0000 Adira 1180091@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@junebugmama: You don't think he might wake up in the middle of the night because he didn't eat as much as normal today? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/question-8mo-didnt-eat-much-should-i-dreamfeed#post-1180079 Mon, 28 Oct 2013 17:45:13 +0000 junebugmama 1180079@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would skip it. Sometimes kids go through strange phases where they won't eat, and at 8 months, he's still getting most of his nutrition from you anyway. He's probably fine :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/question-8mo-didnt-eat-much-should-i-dreamfeed#post-1180075 Mon, 28 Oct 2013 17:44:00 +0000 Adira 1180075@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So I JUST weaned Xander of his dreamfeed over the weekend. I made sure he got enough to eat during the day by nursing as usual and feeding him both lunch and dinner. But today, he refused to eat solids AT ALL. Daycare tried multiple times to feed him lunch, but he just wouldn't eat it. Then he refused to eat dinner. He had his bottles like normal, but didn't nurse very much this evening.</p> <p>Should I just assume he's not hungry and continue to skip the dreamfeed? Or should I maybe go ahead and do the dreamfeed again to hopefully give him more food for the day? </p>
