[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here:

Baby is five months and 18 lbs. He is a great sleeper and able to connect sleep cycles, but he wakes up twice a night (every three hours) to eat plus a dream feed at 11ish. We and the ped agree he is capable of dropping the feeds and going all night, especially with a dream feed.

I was going to start Sleep Easy Sleep Solution to night wean, but that involves crying. I HAVE NO PROBLEM WITH CIO. We did it for my first, who was a horrible sleeper and needed it.

My question is more...if I help him transfer these feeds to daytime will he start sleeping through them? Ferber says you can feed to sleep as long as it's not a problem. I guess I'm hoping someone will say "oh yeah I night weaned and baby started sleeping through". We will sleep train if the weaning doesn't work. [/quote]

NP here. If you drop the night feeds, that is sleep training. I don’t think you can drop them without crying. My son didn’t drop his last night feed till almost a year. My daughter is 11 weeks and has already dropped to one feed. I guess I’m of the mindset that if the baby really wants to eat, it’s still developmentally appropriate up to a year and I’m here to help/feed them. I agree that waking up sucks. [/quote]
