Advice needed on 5mo ff dd - To drop a feed or not??

Hi, my dd is 5mo next week and currently has the following -

8am - 6oz
10am - 6oz
1pm - 6oz
3pm - 6oz
6pm - 7/8oz

I feel she would have more but does sometimes struggle with the last bit. She sleeps from 6.30pm to 7.30am.

What I am thinking is to increase every 6oz bottle to 7 or 8oz and dropping the 1pm feed. The 10am would move to 11/12.

Has anyone tried anything like this? Is it best to just wait and let dd change when she is ready or give it a go?? Thanks.

Let her carry on like this, if she is struggling o finish the bottle then she won't eat any more and don't try and force her.

Thats what I thought but my mum thinks I should change. Sometimes she finishes the lot and looks for more and sometimes she doesnt quite finish. Thanks.
