After reading a lot of the other posts I'm almost
to ask this question as I know some of you are really lacking in the sleep department...DD is booby-fed and we have a pretty good routine going - she feeds 5 times a day then I do a dreamfeed at 11pm and she sleeps through till around 8am. Thing is, I don't want to screw up what I know is a good thing and ditch the dreamfeed too early and have her waking earlier/through the night again, but I'm also trying to write my Masters thesis, and because she sleeps so well at night, she doesn't sleep much during the day which leaves me no time for it.
Sooo, I'm thinking if I can drop the dreamfeed I can get to bed earlier, and if she continues sleeping through till 8ish, get up early and do a couple of hours writing each day before she wakes up. My question is - am I being a little too idealistic? Is she still too young to do this? For those of you who had babies sleeping through by 4 months, when did you ditch the dreamfeed? Did you just go cold turkey? And did it make a difference to your baby's sleeping patterns? Thanks for your advice!
Ooh, forgot to add - should I forget even trying this till we've gone through the 4 month growth spurt??
