Dreamfeed

Posted the following post in the first baby forum but only had one reply .... maybe there are some more experienced mummies reading in here??

My wee boy is 3 months old this week, he goes to bed after a bottle of about 150-200ml of formula (is bf for 5 other feeds of the day) at about 7.30, I get up once during the night about 2-3pm and then he sleeps till 6 or 7. So all good really. He is generally having quite a big feed in the night so obviously he needs it. I was thinking of starting a dreamfeed to see if I could get rid of the middle of the night feed. I never did this with my daughter as she was reflux so just would not have worked! I have a couple of questions.

How many nights before I may see it working?
He is still swaddled so do I leave him swaddled?
Do I wind him, (he brings up wind really easily)?
Does the time have to be the same every night? So if I went out would I have to be home by say 10 if I usually feed him at 10? Or would it not matter for the odd night.

Thanks in advance, just keen to work out if this is something I should try!

I did a dreamfeed with Jake and it worked well, but Morgan would never take one (slept thru every night from 5wks so I didn't worry too much tho!)

How many nights before I may see it working? at least 3.
He is still swaddled so do I leave him swaddled? Yep.
Do I wind him, (he brings up wind really easily)? No, I never winded Jake.
Does the time have to be the same every night? So if I went out would I have to be home by say 10 if I usually feed him at 10? Or would it not matter for the odd night. My hubby did it with EBM and he did it at all different times (I went te bed after expressing) and it didn't seem to matter, but when he got really used to it he did start waking for it some nights (like growth spurt times).
