EASY method

I've been following this since birth with my almost 2 month old. I cluster feed starting at 6pm (6-8-10) and I end with the dream feed usually around 10:30.

Question is about the dream feed. Isn't the purpose of this so he skips the 3am feeding? That doesn't happen, he's like clockwork and eats at 3 and 7. Should I stop the dream feed and see if he makes it to the 3 or just keep with it? I'm always up at that time so it's not like in staying up for it. If I keep that feeding then when do I drop it so the bedtime 8pm feeding is the last?

There is no right or wrong. If they are hungry you should feed them. 2 months is still young for anything to be hard and fast rules.

EASY method

I followed this method too but I never deam fed at all and she slept straight thru the night at about 6 weeks. It all depends on the baby. If he needs the feeding, then you feed him. At this point it's all on demand. If he is eating at 10:30 then he needs the feeding. If it's a struggle to get him to eat then he doesn't.

I used the method with all 3 of my girls...I would try to hold off that dream feed for a little while and see if that gives you a little longer between those night feeds (maybe 11 or 11:30)...my girls all would nurse as long as I was willing to let them, and often it wasn't for eating, but for comfort.

My DD is 9 weeks. We were doing a dream feed at 11pm every night and she started waking up around 3 (was 5/6) so we dropped it bc it wasn't helping anymore. She still slept until 3ish and is now slowly pushing that time out and woke at 530 this morning. Her last bottle was at 8ish. My philosophy is that you don't know if you don't try so drop the dream feed and see what happens.

Re: EASY method

I would stretch out that dream feed until 11:30 or 12. I did that with DS and most nights he slept until 4:00 and then went right back to sleep. He usually slept until 6:30 or 7.

I did easy with my dd and I cut the dream feed out
