I have been trying this and we got our longest sleep so far 5 hours. I feed him at 7, 8 and 9 pm.

@krsmall: Hurray for longer sleep! Does he actually take milk all of those times? Is he awake all of those times? My son really doesn't take milk unless he is hungry. I feel like tonight is a perfect opportunity to do it....DS ate at 2:40, 4:40, and then 7....but is now asleep in his swing since 7:45. Thinking of waking him at 10 before I go to bed and dream feed him then.

He is very moody between 7 and 9 pm so he's been very happy to take a bottle. He's a little piglet he loves his milk. He's been gaining over an ounce a day. My little preemie is almost put of his newborn clothes!

I have tried, and it always backfires big time. Sawyer gets incredibly pissed off when you try to feed him when he doesn't ask for it first. I ended up with an awake grumpy baby for over an hour both times

"out of newborn clothes" not "put."

@krsmall: That's awesome!! Tyler is very moody then, too. He is just a finicky eater, but has always gained an ounce a day since birth....he left the hospital at 4'13 and at 2 months he was 9 lbs!

@MsMini: Tyler gets pissed when I try to feed him when he's not hungry, too. My plan tonight is to loosen his swaddle up big time and pray he wakes up and wants to eat....otherwise I'll totally miss his long sleep stretch as I'm waiting for DH to get home from work still!
