I used to force bb to drink until she is developing feeding aversion now.
Sometimes dream feed not always successful.
It has been months and recently i saw someone posted on tiktok using this schedule. I tried, it is hard for first 2 days but after that the method somewhat is working on 3rd day she drink awake. Then i think we did smth wrong again, like we just shove the bottle inside the mouth, have to repeat the whole process.
The point here is do not force and ask for permission from baby. I bought rowenna bennet e book to unds more abt this. Anyway sharing w u the schedule
The schedule would look like this:
7am - offer bottle
11am - offer bottle
3pm - offer bottle
7pm - offer milk then bedtime
12am - dream feed 80ml
2am - dream feed 80ml
Do not offer milk or dream feed after 2am. Wait until she is fully awake until 7am for first morning feed.
Try and follow this schedule strictly. But also use your discretion. If baby is crying a lot and showing hunger cues then offer feed. If baby is whiny and it’s almost feeding time, try and distract baby until the time to feed.
Give lots of skin to skin time, cuddling, talk to baby and take them for walks outside for fresh air before feeding time.
Only do one offer. Do not give second offer if baby refused first one.
No sleep feeds during the day. No nap feeds.
Dream feed if daily intake less than 300ml. As long as baby hit 300ml in 24 hours it shd be fine
