3 month old feeding issues

Help! We have a nice feeding routine with our daughter....or we 'had' a nice routine. 5 x feeds of 180mls a time - 7am, 11am, 3pm, 6:30pm, 11pm then she sleeps through until we wake her up at 7am.

Problem now is that she is becoming impossible to wake at 11pm and that feed is becoming a nightmare. Then she is not hungry in the morning at 7am and she fights and fights until we finally give up.

Can she go 7pm-7am without a feed? I feel that dropping the 11pm feed would mean she was hungrier at 7am thereby solving the waking problem at 11pm and the fighting problem at 7am. I am just worried about whether this is the right thing to do?

Has anyone got any advice because the fighting to wake her up or feeding an unhungry baby at those 2 feeds is becoming a nightmare. I sat and cried for an hour between 11pm and midnight while my sleeping baby slumped over her bottle!!!

Advice needed :)

I would maybe increase the 7pm feed if she will take it then let her sleep through. I just fed mine on demand.
