Night weaning?

DD is 6.5months. Was EBF until 2weeks ago when we introduced formula at bedtime and started solids.

She goes to bed 6:30/45pm then tends to wake twice in the night (roughly midnight and 3am), up for the day about 6:30 but not hungry for milk til 7/8ish

I've been feeding her when she wakes but am not convinced she's actually hungry (she'll take her dummy, quieten down when I pick her up, isn't rooting) but I know will feed back to sleep and often takes a decent feed.

What can I try instead of feeding to see if she can be weaned off? She won't take a dream feed annoyingly. I'll continue feeding if it turns out she does actually need it but pretty sure I can drop at least one of these feeds, just not sure how!
