A dream feed is a preemptive feeding offered to a sleeping newborn between 10:00 PM and 11:30 PM. The goal is to provide enough calories to extend the baby's longest block of uninterrupted sleep without fully waking them, aligning their rest with the parents' sleep schedule.

Learn how different nipple types work, which age they’re designed for, and how small changes can help resolve common baby feeding issues.
