I am sure this has been a topic before but thought I would ask anyway!
I dreamfed my DS1 but cannot remember when I started. Wish I had kept notes though having said that, DS2 is an entirely different baby! He feeds and sleeps much better already. I think it is probably too early but just wondered when others started to dreamfeed and if it was successful at getting your little one to sleep longer through the night. DS2 already feeds around 11ish after sleeping all evening from around 7-7.30pm. Occasionally he sleeps on til midnight. The night feed is usually around 3.30am. So at this stage I can't see us gaining anything much with a dreamfeed as he already feeds at around 11 but just out of interest when did you start?  ------------- http://lilypie.com">

I started at about six months, maybe a bit after? But that was obviously later than I could have, because before that he was waking around that time for a feed anyway. -------------

I never did a dreamfeed but it looks like DS has developed his own! He wakes up every night around 10-11pm for a feed...then sometimes sleeps till morning, or wakes again for another one around 3-4am...every night is slightly different! ------------- http://lilypie.com">

I started about 4 months. Until DS2 was 3 months, he didn't go to bed till 9pm as he clusterfed all evening.
DS1 - started at 3 months, finished at about 16 months! ------------- Mum to two wee boys |

I started when DS was about 3 months, and he started sleeping through once I did! Sometimes he would actually wake for it but usually it was a proper dreamfeed. I stopped it when he was 7 months... ------------- http://lilypie.com">
