Anybody go cold turkey on dreamfeed?

My DD is almost 9 months and I'm still giving her a dreamfeed - realise I should have cut it out earlier but she's only been sleeping through for 2 months and I've been terrified of her waking again. I started to reduce the length of the feeds to 5 mins last week but she's been ill this week so I've had to give her bigger dreamfeeds to compensate for vomited feeds earlier in the day. She's much better now (albeit teething) so I'd like to start to cut it out. The advice I've seen says to bring the feed forward by 15 mins every other night. I've started doing this to an extent but now we're on 10pm and as she had her bedtime feed at 8pm it seems crazy to go up and feed her again at 9.30pm as the feed always wakes her very briefly. If I just reduce the feed length again do you reckon I can just try cutting it out one night and seeing how she gets on? Thanks!

We just cut ours out at 6.5 months and it was fine.
