...I'm dropping the dream feed as of tonight!
Yesterday morning, Brenna slept in until 7.10, then this morning she woke at 7.50am. It was luxurious having a 'sleep in' but I'd rather have an early riser and early to bed baby than the other way around. So I'm going to stop the dream feed to hopefully she'll go back to her good old 6.30am waking.
Some of you probably think I'm nuts for not wanting the sleep in!!! 
It's just that when I work I leave home at 8am and I'm still b/f, so she needs to be up earlier anyway....so we'll see how tonight goes!

I dropped the dream feeds about 3 weeks ago, the first couple of nights Ethan woke at about 3.30 -4.00ish for a quick feed then went back to sleep untill about 6.30ish, but now he is going from 7pm to 6am sometimes 7am,
good luck

Best of luck! I'm not that brave yet coz the gremlins demolish 150ml at their dream feed and still wake at 7amish (or 6.15am like this morning  ) so am pretty sure they're not ready yet.

Well, I've decided to wait until tomorrow night...
Brenna normally has 2 bottles and is b/f for the rest of her feeds. Anyway, today she refused her first bottle then only had about 1/2 of her next bottle so after a day of not much to drink I'm hesitant to drop the dream feed tonight.
I've decided that if she's not awake by about 7.15am then I'm going to wake her cause she only just went to bed about 7.45pm tonight cause all her feeds were so much later due to her big sleep in this morning! (and it made me miss my beloved shorty st   )
