Randomness of the night feed

Hi, my 5 month old has about 5 breastfeeds during the day and 1 at night.

Her daytime feeds tend to be at pretty consistent times, starting from around 7:30am.

Her one night time feed can be anything from 00:00 to 6:30am.

I'm really confused how one night she can go until 6:30am and another nights she needs it 6 hours earlier!

I know I probably shouldn't complain about one nightly feed but I really would love it if it could be more predictable.

This has been going on for about 2 months now so I don't think it's growth spurt related.

Any advice on how I could get it to be more predictable?

No idea on that one sorry. Some people find that offering a feed before they go to sleep helps, say 10 pm but it doesn't work for everyone.

I'd give her a dreamfeed at 10pm then it sounds like you won't have to do any night feeds.
