Last night I used dreamfeeding to connect two long stretches of sleep. It was great. I woke up from a long couch nap at 01.30 while baby was still sleeping in her first long stretch ( she usually has 2) of sleep that started 21.30. I then fed her without waking her which I had never done before. This feed is usually around 00.00 and I would wake her for it, but this time I just was dead asleep on the couch so I didn't. After the dreamfeed she slept another 6 hours. I feel so rested 😊. I realise now I used it slightly different than explained in this video, but thanks to this video I did learn about it. So thank you! The big advantage for me was dreamfeeding her took way less time than waking, changing, feeding and putting her back to sleep. The 6 hour sleep stretch was a welcome bonus!
