As Emma said, the only way to know is to try! Each child is different.

With Amy it was similar to with Maya - I did the dream feed at 10 and could never stay awake so used to go to bed at 9 and set the alarm. One night I just turned it off and went back to sleep! I woke up at midnight and realised and decided to see what happened and she slept until 6.30am . Amy was about 4 months and that was the end of the dream feed.

Sophie took a while longer, about 5 1/2 months I think.

When I dropped the dream feed I didn't add a feed, just upped the last of the day: 7, 11, 3 were 200ml and 6pm was 250ml.

Good luck ]]> Sat, 22 Nov 2008 09:22:54 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=22597&PID=549769&title=the-dreamfeed#549769 <![CDATA[The dreamfeed : The only way to know is to try!...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=22597&PID=548520&title=the-dreamfeed#548520 Author: Maya

The only way to know is to try! Maya was about 7 mths when I cut out the dream feed, one night I was absolutely shattered so I went to bed early and she slept thru from 7pm till 6.30am so I decided to permanently ditch the dream feed.

Lil miss has done 2 7pm-7am stretches but she's still waking for one feed during the night even if she has a dream feed so we're nowhere near ditching it yet.]]> Thu, 20 Nov 2008 20:07:40 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=22597&PID=548520&title=the-dreamfeed#548520 <![CDATA[The dreamfeed : So currently every night 9.30pm...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=22597&PID=548421&title=the-dreamfeed#548421 Author: BessieBear

So currently every night 9.30pm i wake ryan up and give him a feed of 180mls then he sleeps through til 7ish.
He has 5 feeds a day @ 7am 2.30pm and 9.30pm he has 180mls and @ 11am and 6pm he has 240mls.
if i was to drop the dreamfeed and add another feed in during the day and increase one 180ml to a 240ml,
Will he still sleep through from 7pm to 7am???
