Should I Do A Dream Feed?
A dream feed is a late-night feeding offered before the caregiver goes to sleep, with the hope of extending the baby’s first stretch of rest. It can make sense for healthy babies who feed calmly while drowsy and for parents who need a longer initial sleep block. It should be avoided, or discussed with a pediatrician, if the baby has reflux, feeding difficulties, poor weight gain, or if the feed causes more wake-ups rather than fewer.
