Dream feed

My ds is 5 months. Right now he takes 5- 7 oz bottles. He usually goes to bed about 8 and then I wake him about 9:30 for his 5th bottle. When should I stop waking him for this bottle. Lately he has been sleeping really hard. He usually sleeps through to 7:30 in the morning. Should I increase his day bottles to 8 oz and slowly go down on this dream bottle?

Dd slept 11 hours by 3 1/2 months. I def would not wake her if she was sleeping for a dream feed. She would wake if she was hungry. Sounds like he is sleeping great. Let him be and see how he sleeps without it

I never woke DS for a feeding. If i was lucky enough to have DS sleep I let him go. And that was from day one.

I never woke my kids to feed them. The second they started STTN the night was the last time they ever got a bottle during the night. Cold turkey.

My LO is 5 months as well. His last bottle is at 7:45p and he STTN. I don't wake him. If he's hungry he'll let you know and wake up on his own. I would try increasing his bottles to 8oz during the day and skip the dream feed.

If he is finishing the whole 7oz each feeding give 8oz a try. If not, stay with 7oz. As long as he is gaining well and seems happy I would follow his lead.
