The Dream Feed

In today’s podcast we’re going to be talking Dream Feeds; are they the dream or can they sometimes be the opposite?  We’ll start with the meaning of the dream feed - FYI it’s not where you dream that you have fed or are feeding your baby, only to wake up on the loo! We’ll also cover where it can really help, where it can’t and, something that is often missed from conversations about dream feeds… how to stop, when you and baby are ready. Plus, we’ll answer our listener Katy’s question about whether a dream feed could be affecting weaning.   1 – What is a dream feed ? 2 – Why do people recommend it? 3 – Is it always a good idea? 4 – How do you stop? 5 – Are there alternatives to a dream feed?
