Failed at attempted dreamfeeding

Mrs.McLovin

Guess DS will be waking up at 2am. Lovely.

he just didnt go for it or what?  How did you fail?  BF or FF?  I have been successful(ish) with both.

Mrs.McLovin

I only do this when he didn't eat much during the day. Tried giving him a bottle of formula. He was so out of it! It just sat in his mouth.

Never worked for me either. ?I would BF him when I went to bed *hoping* he would sleep until morning. ?He would still wake up as usual at 2 am.

hm, guess there is nothing to try if he's sound asleep

this is why i don't understand dreamfeeding...  if DS falls asleep on the bottle, and i try to put it back in his mouth, he purses his lips really tight.  i can't imagine trying to start feeding him while he's asleep.

We used to do this nearly every night when DD was younger. She was a terrible eater and I was always worried she wasn't getting enough formula. She goes down at 7, but before we went to bed around 11, I would go in and pick her up out of her crib. Sit in the glider and she's drink the whole bottle without ever opening her eyes. I guess she's just a sound sleeper.
