How do I drop the nightly dream feeding?

Do I have to wean her off of the feeding? DD is 5.5 months old and we've been doing the dream feeding for about a month now. She goes to bed at 7PM and then we pick her up and feed her at 11PM and then she is usually awake by 6:30AM. We usually make a 6oz bottle; sometimes she'll drink the 6oz but other times she will only take 3 or 4 oz.

we used to give Eddie his big bottle an hour or so before bed and then about 20 minutes before actually bed we gave him another 1 or 2oz to get him through.

How are your precious little girls? Will you guys be around at Christmas?

I would make sure DD had all of her ounces during the day (upped her bottles 1/2-1 oz. during the daytime) so she didn't wake up until it was morning.

Hey Mel! They are doing great...thanks for asking. I am sure we will see you at the holidays. Piper has to see what she can try to steal from Eddie this time!Chat Icon Hope your family is doing well!!Chat Icon

i would increase the daytime feedings, and decrease the dream feeding by an ounce every 2 nites, until its gone.
