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???

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.

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
