Hiya a dreamfeed is when you feed the baby (breast or bottle) when they are asleep. They just suck away even though they are fast asleep!

what about winding??? if i dont wind Louie he will be sick

Alastair normally wakes about 9:30-10pm, so is there any point in starting to do a dream feed with him???

He wakes 3 hours later for another feed

Hiya, they should be less windy for this feed anyway, but you can wind them aswell when they are asleep!

Probably not , joe finished his last feed at 7.30 so I will go wake him at 11 but unlike Jess, he wakes when I give him a dream feed. Nosey parker that he is.
