Q's for those who dreamfeed...
Hi ladies,
So about a week or so ago I decided to try dreamfeeding my 7 week old to see whether he would still wake for his next feed after going down for the night (usually does a 5/6 hour stretch after final feed around 7/8pm). First night I tried with the breast but there was no waking him and I couldn't shove it in. I tried it with expressed milk in a bottle for a few more nights and he eventually took it but then still woke around 5/6 hours after his previous feed so it wasn't making a difference and I found I was just getting more tired by staying up to do the dfeed. So I abandoned the idea. However in the past few days I was thinking perhaps I didn't give it a long enough go...so I tried again last night, this time not picking him but just trying to plop the bottle into his mouth in his basket but there was no waking him again, it actually got in the mouth once but no suckling. So I just gave up and went back to sleep. So here are my q's:
1. when you started dreamfeeding how long did it take before you noticed any difference in the waking patterns?
2. did you wake your LO to dreamfeed or keep them asleep and did you feed directly into the cot or in your arms? 3. Did you burp your LO afterwards? Reason I ask is that most people say they are so relaxed they don't need it but my DS seems to get wind at night more, even after I've burped him after a feed he still wakes himself up with loud grunts later on sometimes so I'm a bit worried to leave him without burping...
thanks for your input in advance! I know I already had another similar thread about a week ago but would appreciate thoughts from those who successfully DF! x
