Add a dream feed

Top off before midnight

Today's lesson

A dream feed is a feeding given right before you go to bed, while baby is still mostly asleep. It can shift a longer stretch of sleep into your own first half of the night.

Your action steps

  • Feed baby 2–3 hours after bedtime without fully waking them.
  • Keep lights off and the room calm.
  • Drop the dream feed once baby sleeps through on their own.

Pro tip

Dream feeds work best for babies under 6 months.
