dropping night time feed.....

[crumpet]

everyone!!

so DD is 9 weeks this coming tuesday and has been sleeping through most nights this week, bar 2 nights.....

she has always been a good sleeper thankfully.

now she is FF and takes between 120ml and 150ml every feed....

her day looks a bit like this.....

7-8am wake up and bottle
9-9:30 down for a sleep ( usually lays there wide awake, might have a hr if im lucky)
11:30-12:30 - bottle
12:30- sleep
3:30-4:30pm- bottle
6:30 bath
7-7:30 bottle and bed
10pm dreamfeed

and then i have been feeding her if she wakes, which was around the 2-3am mark but lately is 4:30-5am.....

this morning she woke at 430 and i was a bad mummy and exhausted so i went in added a extra blanket, gave her her dummy and she went back to sleep until 6:30, i have her the dummy again becasue i wont start her day before 7am, and she slept again until 730am....

so im wondering if i really dont need to do that extra feed during the night??

i mean i know she can sleep through and does it quite happily, so do i persist with giving her the dummy and see how she goes??

assuming that if she got to the point of crying and not protesting she would be hungry and id feed her....

thanks in advance!

oh and when she gets weighed at the MCHN she gains way above what they would expect her too.... usually around 250g a week.
