How to ditch the dream feed..

Daniel is now about 8kg and on 3 meals of solids a day so I figure we can now ditch the dream feed..

His routine goes like this (exactly the same times each night):
6:30pm - bed and asleep
8pm - feed, 150-180mls
10:30pm - feed, 100ml

We have been reducing the amount in his 10:30 feed which is why its fairly small now. Should we just ditch it altogether or wean him off it? Cause he's had that feed every night since he was 2 weeks old

The only reason we haven't is that we can't be bothered with screaming if he doesn't get it since its so ingrained into his body clock now.

Have you tested dropping it, he might just sleep through it totally unaware. If he does wake up maybe have a bottle (or boob can't remember if you are bfing) ready and wean instead. Fortunately for me I didn't have to go through it as Spencer dropped it of his own accord, if he hadn't I would have been a bit reluctant to try just dropping it too but do think that it will be quicker and easier than weaning as he may just sleep straight through.

We used to dream feed, although started at an older age so DD wasn't used to it from early on when we decided to drop it. We just bit the bullet and didn't give it to her one night, she slept through fine. Maybe give him a bit more at his 8pm feed or more solids at his last solids feed?
