PostSubject: Dropping a feed   Dropping a feed EmptyMon Feb 06, 2012 9:07 pm

How do you go about doing this? I didn't have to worry about this earlier as he was exclusively bf then and just did it himself. His slept through the night at least 3 out of the last 4 weeks and doesn't have anything in the morning until he gets to nursery as he doesn't want it so I don't think he needs his 10pm feed. Do I just give him less each time, try moving it forward until it hits his bedtime bottle or just cut it out? Its half term next week so seems like a good time to tackle it

Also, are they supposed to have a certain amount of milk at this point? Jamie has his bottles but only a cup of milk when his watching ITNG during the day so we may have to try and add some in if so

Because he is over 1 he should get mist of his nutrients from food rather than milk so just make sure he has plenty of calcium and iron.
Would he still sleep through if you cut out his bottle at 10?
do you wake him or does he wake up wanting it? If it's a dream feed I would try a few oz less for a couple of days and if it doesn't affect his sleep then I'd just stop giving it.

Sometimes he wakes up and sometimes we wake him up. I'll try a few less oz then and see what happens. I'm hoping he'll still sleep through but if not we might be keeping it for a bit longer for my sanity

i would have thought at his age he should be fine without it. if anything it will be out of habit rather than need. try just not waking him and see how he does x

Thank you. Will try next week and see how he gets on. Am a little concerned as his only just started sleeping through and will miss my snuggles but I know its for the best
