Should i cut her feeds?

[Mrs Jak]

Does she let you know when she's hungry or do you sort of just go with the same set time intervals?

If she seems happy enough to stretch out the feeds you could try the bigger bottles and less feeds, otherwise I'd just keep going as you are and try her with bigger bottles if she continues to finish the 150mls and looks like she could have more.

Sounds like you are doing a great job

Just a thought... we had Sam on a very similar schedule... He'd wake at 6am, and then we'd go 10am, 2pm, 6pm (bed), 10pm (dreamfeed). Do you think that might work at all? She can obviously go 4 hours between bottles, is there a reason it reduces to 3 hours in the evenings? Over time, Sam gradually shifted to a 7am wake up with an 11pm dreamfeed, but that worked for us as a later bedtime gives him more time with Daddy after work. It was such a relief when we were able to drop that dreamfeed at last! Unfortunately, it didn't happen until we introduced a solid meal for dinner.

I do her feeds closer together in the evening as she gets more niggly and won't last as long between feeds. Think I'll keep her on 6 until she starts refusing one? Her dream feed she rarely drinks all of it, usually 100ml, but wakes up in the middle of the nite if I don't offer it

I think that she's that young still I would leave it, let her drop it when she's ready. Sounds like you are getting a great amount of sleep, and your daughter sounds like an angel baby, I wouldn't mess with what is working or it'll probably turn around and bite you in the butt.

My DD is nearly 6 months and she still has 6 feeds, she has 6x 180, I've tried giving the 210 but seeing as she doesn't always finish the 180 doesn't work.
I'd just keep going I think she is doing pretty good, prolly better for you to give dreamfeed than have to get up in the night. DD wakes at 1am everynight.

i only upped the formula when ds drank every drop of every bottle no dream feeds here he wakes at 2 or 4 every night after eating at 8 and then back to sleep till next feed at 9

Thanks for the advice girls, I tried giving her 5 bottles a day for a couple of days and it totally screwed up her sleep/feed patterns (won't settle, wants to play at 11pm instead of it being a dream feed) so back to 6 bottles today I really hope she goes back to the way she was before, damn I shouldn't have changed anything!!
