Dreamfeed quandary

I have a 5.5 week old baby (DS2) who is a very good feeder and sleeper. He has gained 1.5kgs since birth and is now 5.2kgs. He goes to bed no problem at 7pm and until last week I was waking him to feed him at 11pm. We did this 11pm 'dream feed' with DS1 and it worked well. However, last week I forgot to set my alarm for 11pm Nd woke up at 3am, boobs killing me. Woke DS2 and fed him and he went back down until 7am. Following night I did the same. - no 11pm feed and he woke himself at 345am. Last night I tested the 11pm feed again and it made no difference- he was awake at 3am and then 630am and uncomfortably windy and farty. Am trying to decide what to do... My instinct says sod the 11pm as it isn't making and difference, and I guess I can always reintroduce it at a later date if I need to. Experience if this/thoughts anyone? Thank you!

I'm not sure what the advantage of the 11pm feed is if you have to set your alarm to wake you up for it. It makes sense if that's your bedtime but if you are interrupting your sleep anyway what's the benefit?
