We are expecting our second in April and like you, I'm used to long toddler stretches of sleep. I already dread the newborn wake-ups that await me! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-doing-a-dreamfeed#post-2031670 Mon, 19 Jan 2015 20:44:31 +0000 HappyBaker 2031670@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@meredithNYC: @MenagerieMama: Haha ok I guess that makes me feel better! I am just used to my toddler who goes to bed without a fight at 7pm and STTN, I forgot how crazy making waking up with a baby is! </p> <p>Tonight he ate a little early so I think I'm going to just try to give him a mini bottle around 9 and see if that changes anything. </p> <p>Thanks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-doing-a-dreamfeed#post-2031667 Mon, 19 Jan 2015 20:42:03 +0000 MenagerieMama 2031667@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I agree with @meredithNYC: my LO is 3.5 mo and I'd be thrilled if she only had 2 wake ups ! At 2 weeks I think we barely had her sleeping out of our arms at night. You're doing great! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-doing-a-dreamfeed#post-2031613 Mon, 19 Jan 2015 19:58:25 +0000 JennyPenny 2031613@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We started at around 4 weeks and it was awesome! But now at almost 6 months we're thinking he should be okay without it, but too scared to take it away... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-doing-a-dreamfeed#post-2031585 Mon, 19 Jan 2015 19:25:04 +0000 meredithNYC 2031585@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Around 2.5 months. Though honestly, had I known about the concept earlier I may have tried a bit earlier.</p> <p>ETA: your LO seems to be doing great at such a young age, though. I think my LO was still up every 2 hours around then. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-doing-a-dreamfeed#post-2031546 Mon, 19 Jan 2015 18:54:53 +0000 Mae 2031546@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For the first month we woke to feed on a schedule. I think every 3 hours for the first two weeks and then every 4 hours for the next two weeks. Around a month we stopped waking to feed and she would eat around 9, fall asleep, then wake around 1 or 2 an again around 6 or so to eat. We never really did "dream feeds" until we started having trouble getting enough food in her during the day and were trying to sneak in an extra feeding per day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-doing-a-dreamfeed#post-2031476 Mon, 19 Jan 2015 17:58:42 +0000 HappyBaker 2031476@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>At what age did you start doing a dreamfeed? LO is 2 weeks old and the past few days has been getting a bottle around 7:30pm, going to sleep around 9 and then waking up around 1 and 4 to eat. Wondering if a dreamfeed would help at this age? </p>
