Shall I try a dream feed... And how do I do it??

[beckyboo1]

So Harry finally went down around 9 tonight but his last feed was around 8

Wondering if when I go to bed (very shortly) if I should try a dream feed in the hope he'll go through a bit?

How do i do it? Any advice??

just pick him up and put it in, thats what i did when she stirred x

I wake T chops up only enough to get her to drink for 20 mins. Usually a nappy change does the trick. She does fall asleep though quite often halfway through.

I tried this the other night with Ralph and he would not wake up for me lol just wanted to sleep!! X

Well I nearly didn't do it as he looked do peaceful when I went to bed!

But after a while he was stirring a bit and shuffling in his cot so thought I'd give it a go

After a few deep minutes he had a good 10 minute feed around. 11.15 and then slept til 4.30

Not sure if it made that much difference as it was late when he finally went to bed but at least I got a few hours in x

it doesnt work for me!! i cant get him to open mouth to do it lol and i managed once on mon nite but i think that was because we were let of hosp at 10 and by the time i got him home and in sleeping bag etc it was 11 but he still woke at 2:45 so no difference as he usually wakes around 2.30 anyways xx
