Dropping the dream feed

Baby is a super good eater and has plenty of milk during the day (just started solids too!). She has a big bottle before bed, usually around 8oz and drinks the lot. Up until now we had been dream feeding at around 10/11pm where she would vary how much she drank between 4-6oz usually. She’s then not needed any night feeds for months now.

Over the past week or so we’ve found it’s actually disturbing her sleep more than helping and last night she slept through until 3am and even then only needed a quick resettle until 7!

Time to drop the dream feed? Has anybody dropped it yet or planning to?

Yes I have dropped the dream feed, he sleeps very well at night. I found that every time I tried to dream feed him at 10/11 he would wake and cry.

We dropped my lo when she was 3 months old. Felt the same, we just trialed it one night and she was fine. So didn’t give it to her again. X

Help! First time mum -

I have a 4 month old and now all of a sudden when he’s been asleep for 1hr30/2hrs he will wake up screaming (high pitched) I’ve tried winding him sometimes that helps, I’ve tried bicycle legs & bringing his knees up but that doesn’t seem to help but he brings his knees up himself sometimes but nothing happens. I’ve noticed since the 4 month mark he has started to struggle passing wind downwards! Any tips?

Bath Time

Help! My baby is 3 and a half weeks old. Every bath she goes in quite happy but will only stay like this for a very few mins, if I try to clean her or move her we have tears and after a few mins the same. It's like she is scared. Our current baby bath is quite big should I try a different one? Looking for any suggestions as want her to enjoy bath time not be upset and I'm scared I'm going to make her hate it😢💗

Crying during feeding

Hey mams! My girl is 6 weeks on Monday and is having so much trouble with feeding. It doesn’t happen every feed but more often than not she will start a bottle and just start crying as if she’s in pain and she can’t take the milk. I think it’s trapped wind but I genuinely don’t know what to do it’s so pitiful to see her not be able to feed! She’s formula fed and on HiPP Organic.
Anyone else been in this position? I’m pretty sure it’s just a bit of trapped wind that she needs to fart out but can’t! If anyone has any advice I’d be very grateful as I think I may need to tape my eyelids open soon 😂
