[quote=Anonymous]OP here with an update. Based on the mixed feedback, I had planned to give her last night (night 3 of “extinction”) to figure it out but if she cried more than 15 mins I would have intervened with an additional feeding based on everyone’s advice.

I am happy to report she didn’t make a peep until 6:10am at which point she was just happy and awake. She didn’t seem especially starving either so I am questioning how long to continue the dreamfeed. At this point, I plan to keep it because I prefer that to pumping in the MOTN.

So overall, her wake time was pushed up a little (20 min) but I have to think she actually got more overall sleep without the 4-5am restlessness. I was awake from habit during that time and checked the video monitor a few times and she was sleeping soundly (not awake and quiet because she had given up on crying). Anyway...I’m pretty happy and feeling better about this choice now! Hopefully this was not a fluke and it will stick. I guess I’ll see tonight!

Thanks again![/quote]
