i agree with the PP who said it may be normal for your DD & that there isn't really a yes or no answer in general!
DS fed like an absolute trooper for what felt like ages. i did find afternoons the toughest - but also noticed that if we were out & about, DS was far less interested in a feed. if we stayed home, he'd be demanding feeds. so distraction techniques worked (if i felt drained by it all).
overnight i've only noticed a change in the last few weeks - until then DS was definitely still having a decent feed (waking 2 hourly). now it's more a comfort thing & i think we're ready to nightwean. how much DS eats at dinner has never had any noticable impact on his sleep.
i think your DD is old enough for you to experiment a bit with distraction, different snacks etc if you feel like a change would be beneficial - remember you need some TLC as well & maybe some time away from feeding in the afternoons may be what helps you get through the tough nights
