Dream feed?

Question

Hi ladies,
So my baby boy is 2 months old. He is feeding every 3 hours. Normally at night he feeds around 8 then we go to bed and he then wakes around 1 or 2ish for a feed. Tonight he had a feed abit earlier so he is due around 9.30. Do I wake him at 9.30 or let him sleep and wake me when hes ready? He's normally pretty good after feeds goes to sleep. Seeing mixed reviews about the dream feeds. Thanks in advance.

Answer

At 2 months old I would do the dream feed as usual because I knew my daughter wouldn't miss it anyway. So dream feed and then off to bed.

DREAM FEED SAVED OUR LIFE!!  For us, it was like a bolt of lightening from heaven.  Our LO would go to bed at 7pm and wake around 2-3am starving, only thing that would settle would be a full feed. Not shushing, not cuddles, nothing.   Then he would sleep until 7am when he knew it was time for wake up and start feeding every three hours or so.  
Dream feed allowed us to go in around 10pm and full feed (bottle - breast at first then later formula; he nursed during the day and had bottles at night, so before bed and middle of the night feeds so my hubs could help with them) and he would sleep until 6-7am and no more middle of the night wake up for a feed.   It was amazing.  We started it at around 3.5 months—but I wish we would have done it earlier.  
That’s our experience!  Hope it’s helpful in figuring out how to shape yours 💛

Answer

I do a dream feed but baby doesn’t really wake up so I don’t consider it waking to feed him 😂
Before going back to work I would feed him before his bedtime at 6:30, then a dream feed at 9:30. He would wake once to eat around 1-2am and then be good until morning. 
Since going back to work he wants to nurse all night now 😫
He misses me so I can’t be mad.

Answer

Waking is what my pediatrician recommended at that age.
