Hi all!
I'm not sure where the other dream feed posts are, for some reason my search function isn't working. Feel free to re-direct me if this isn't the right place.
My daughter just turned 8 months old. She has 4 milk feeds a day + an 11pm dream feed. We started her on solids at 6 months, but up until a week or two ago, she was just eating 2-3 ounces of solids per day (split between 2 meals). She would drink 4-6 oz of breast milk during her dream feed. For the past 7-8 days, she started to eat a LITTLE more during her solids meals, closer to 2 oz per meal, so she probably gets 3-4 oz of solids per day now. At the same time, for the past week or so, she started to drink very little during the dream feed, between 1.5 - 2 oz (it used to be closer to 4-5 oz).
I've been waiting to see if this short dream feed would be consistent or not, it's been at least a week now.
My question is: if she is only drinking 1-2 ounces during her dream feed, would it be fine to just drop it cold turkey? Or would that have some negative effects? I just feel like it's so little now that I don't even know how to do it slowly really. Any suggestions? Should I keep doing the dream feed for a few more days/week to make sure her 1.5-2 ounces isn't just a fluke? Please let me know your thoughts on this. I would love to be done with the dream feed now but also don't want any negative effects like her waking up hungry or anything.
Thanks,
Mona
