I'd leave her too - you may find she goes all the way through but if not, you can go back to dreamfeeding tomorrow night.

Or pick a more suitable night to do it in case she does wake up.

same as my ds2....leave it and see how she goes...may surprise you? my ds is a greedy pig so won;t last lol

i do a dream feed too, usually right about now (but i'm on mn so guess its going to be late tonight!), and have also been wondering what would happen if i didn't.

i've only been on mn for about a month and can remember when i first started looking through all the threads and reading about someone asking a similar question. they said they were staying with parents and her mum said why doesn't she just not feed the baby before going to bed. so she didn't, to try and prove her mum wrong, and low and behold, the baby slept through. so she didn't feed again the next night, and again, slept through. can't remember who it was that wrote this. please post to say how you get on if you don't feed.
