Bedtime bottle not taking much!

Hi, just seeing other people's views and if anyone else's babies are the same.
I have an 8 week old who only takes about 20 ounces a day, she's been growing well, on nutramigen for suspected cmpa.
She feeds between 3 to 4 ounces every 2/3 hours in the day, but her bedtime bottle i can't seem to get more than 2 ounces in her, she crashes around 7/7:30 then will wake between 1/2 in the night for only a couple more ounces then will go back to sleep till between 4/5 but will also only take a couple 🙈 just wanting to see if there's any suggestions on a way of making take more at bedtime? Was thinking she might then ditch the middle of the night feed! Or am I best just carrying on following her lead?

Definitely, definitely feed on demand. You could always try a dream feed at about 11pm though and see if that will encourage her to sleep until morning, even if it's just a couple of ounces Wink
