Who still does them at this age? 18 months?
I'm not waking him for one but he's waking him self. I thought it might be reflux but instead of boob tonight I gave him a 170ml bottle which he drained. ------------- Kel http://lilypie.com">

Is he eating ok during the day?
H was still having a dream feed until 12 -13 months but he was drinking heaps of milk rather than filling up on solids so we had to change that first before dropping the dream feed (I am assuming that's what you want?). ------------- http://lilypie.com">  http://lilypie.com">

My friend was still giving her son a DF long after he turned two! It worked for them, I think he just stopped waking for it one day... ------------- SJ Callum - Dec 2008 Daniel - Oct 2010 |

He has 4 bottles during the day, plus 2 breast feeds & 3 meals. He's meeting his calorie count but he does have reflux & food issues.
Maybe once his weight catches up he'll stop. Yeah it would be nice to go to bed earlier than I am. No question of asking DH cause he's working gone 7am to 6pm & asleep by 8.30-9pm at night. ------------- Kel http://lilypie.com">

What time does Cooper generally wake for the dreamfeed? Is he sleeping through the night, otherwise?
We don't technically have a dreamfeed anymore, but the ratbag still wakes on average 4 times a night for boob, I'm sure its just habit and I really have to try and break it. Did he want the boob to go to sleep after he drained the bottle of formula? Sounds like he may have just been hungry to me. |

Nope was basically asleep for the whole bottle & then out for the count when finished.
He usually wakes around 11pm but it can be up to 1.30am ------------- Kel http://lilypie.com">
