dream feeding
Drowsy infant meal
Dream feeding is nursing or bottle-feeding an infant while they remain asleep or mostly asleep, typically done late at night before the parent goes to bed.
The goal is to fill the baby's stomach without fully waking them, hoping to extend their sleep stretch: I dream feed her at eleven so she'll sleep until morning.
