Dream feeds

Hi,
Just wondering what peoples thoughts are on dream feeds.
We have a 12 week old, the past 2 weeks nearly we have been feeding about 7.30pm and then putting baby to bed and then she has been waking around 2/3am for a feed and then again around 7/7.30am
Apart from last night she woke just before 1am for a feed and then we got up at 6.45am
She has seemed abit fussy last couple of days so not sure if she's going through a phase?
I was thinking still feeding the 7.30pm bottle then off to bed but then doing a 'dream feed' about 10.30/11pm and see is she will then go til the morning?
Do you think its best to just keep doing what I'm currently doing or try a dream feed?

At 12 weeks you should continue to feed on demand.

Sounds like she's sleeping really well, keep going. I would definitely not introduce a dream feed. She'll probably just end up shifting her night time feed to 4 or 5am...
She'll drop night feed when she's ready.
