Dream feeding 5 week old?

So I never meant for this to happen but my lo was 5 weeks on Sunday and he was having a feed around this time but he seems to be having a feed in the evening at 8/8.30 and I don’t want to be up at 12/1 after having only a few hours sleep, so I’ve been giving him a feed around 11 to get him to sleep till 3.
Do you think I should just give him the 8.30 feed and put him to bed and wait for him to wake up for his feed? This is my second LO and with my first I just took his lead but I feel I need to do this just to give me some structure especially when I’m up at 6 every morning with my 3 yo.

I'd give him the usual feed at 8.30, if he wants it and then try the dream feed, but don't force it. If he doesn't want it you may just have to cope with being woken for a bit Smile
