    lately, my LO has been going to bed around 8 and begins waking around 7. we are able to hold her off on a bottle until about 8ish with her paci, etc.
    she falls asleep at 8 on the boppy on the couch and we swaddle her and dream feed her at 11. do you think we can skip this? should we skip it, lol? we are nervous that if we skip it she'll wake up earlier to eat.

    You could always try although my guess would be she would wake up earlier - 3 months seems young to go 12 hours without eating. Our girls eat around 6:30pm, then I feed them at 12:30am and then they eat again around 5:30am. I can't imagine them skipping the middle of the night feeding, I dream one day of it happening, but I don't think they are there just yet. But then again they don't sleep super well during the night in the first place as we have multiple wakings from 10pm-12:30am and 3-5:30am. Good luck!!

    I started by backing up the dream feed a bit at a time and feeding just a little less each time. If it doesn't work you can go back and try again later.
