4 month old - night feeds?

My 4.5 month old EBF baby's sleep has recently changed. Until now he normally had 2 or 3 night wake ups + feeds, but the last couple of nights when he wakes up at night in his cot and I reinsert his dummy he just goes back to sleep without me picking him up and feeding.
Last night he had his last feed at 7 pm and then the morning feed at 6.30 am when he fully woke up. Is this ok or shall I be offering him breast when he wakes up in the middle of the night? I'm thinking he may be too young to be night weaned?
He is fussy at breast during the day but seems to be catching up on his milk intake now he didn't have night feeds.

I'd personally do one feed around 11pm if he wakes then. I think its OK to let them sleep through at this age though if you'd prefer.
When my baby stopped / reduced night feeds my period came back... just to warn you this might happen!

Bottle feeder here. My 3 month old is usually satisfied with dummy when he wakes overnight - on the rare occasion he's hungry overnight he will soon let me know by carrying on crying! Sounds totally fine.
