Hi mummies My 4mths old girl used to wakes up at 4am however i try ti drag the time from 4.30 till now 6am. However for past two weeks,she has been waking up for awhile same timing 3am,5am when i pat her she went back to sleep.my concern is that normal? She will always go to bed at 9pm self soothe but e mid morning when she wakes up i need to pat then she sleep. I dreamfeed her at 11pm 160ml(only for night day time will be 140ml)hoping that the milk can last her till next morning 6am. Am i doing the right thing? Or should i stop dreamfeed her but wont be able sttn cause her last milk is at 8.45pm. Need mummies advice Thank you

The cons of dreamfeeding is that it may develop into a habit for your baby to wake up to feed even though she may not be hungry. If she's well fed throughout the day with around 4-5 full feedings every 3.5-4 hourly I would say you can safely eliminate the dreamfeeding either by going cold turkey or gradually reduce the drinking volume. All the best and sleep well!
