Stacking baby's feeds, how does it work?
I just gave my baby a dream feed now at 8:30pm if I give her another one about 10:30/11pm before I go to bed would that be too soon, or should I just give half a feed?
What I am hoping is that by giving that extra feed she will sleep through till about 6am when we usually get up rather then waking at 4am for a bottle like she usually does.
She is 5 months old, oh and also formula fed :)

How many months is your baby? I would not suggest Dream feeds. It sets up problems for later (sleep crutch). I would suggest sticking with the 4 am feeding. By 6 months old, babies can go 9 hours without eating. By 9 months, they can go 12 hours.
I have a newborn too, and I am going by his clock for now...trying to set up good routines for later. My first child slept through the night (7 to 7) by six months.
good luck

How old is your baby? Its perfectly normal for babies to wake up throughout their 1st and 2nd years for a feed. Feed your baby when she's hungry. No more, no less.

the number one rule of motherhood....never wake a sleeping baby :) no, don't wake her up, then she will start to expect this every night and when she gets a lil older, it may makeit harder to put her down for bedtime. keep your bedtimes, if she wakes up to feed, so be it, then put her back to bed. you may regret it later if you don't keep to your bedtime.
