5am- wake up or night feed?
lo is 10 1/2 months, and although she slept through the night from 2 months, so only slept til 7am for about 2 weeks (about 2 months ago). She usually wakes up 5/5:30 and I always treated this is her actual wake up time. This morning she woke at about 4:30 and I kept her in her cot til 5am. I decided just to try this as a night feed, so I didn't talk to her and fed her in her room in the dark. I put her straight back in her cot when she was finished and after tossing and turning for about 15 mins she slept til 7.
I know I've only done this once but at the moment it doesn't make a difference to me whether this is a nightfeed or her actual wake up. But I want to do what ever is better for her and whatever has more chance of getting her to sleep 7-7ish without a feed (hopefully by december as I'm due number 2). Do you think it would be better to treat this as her wake up or as a night feed?
Thanks!

what time do you give her her last feed before bed? im guessing around 6.30? have you thought of giving her a dream feed before you go to bed? say around 10.30 and maybe that will keep for full until a more reasonable hour like 7...

Her last solids are at 5:30, she also has a snack at 4:30 (brought this in to give her more intake close to bed time).
How many oz does she have in her last bottle?
Grace is also 10.5 months and at the mo she has a little snack at 2.30pm, tea at 4.30pm, bath at 6pm, bottle at 6.15pm. She is in bed, and dozing off by 6.30pm. She sleeps for about 11.5 hours.
