Anyone else giving toddler (18mo) dreamfeed still?

We dropped it and she had several weeks of waking at 5am starving hungry and wouldn't go back to sleep even after a bottle. We've reintroduced a bottle feed at 10.30ish before I go to sleep and she's back to sleeping until 6.30/7. But I get the impression MNetters will think there should be no such feeds. Anyone else doing the same?

I give DD a late snack just before bottle and bed. I think it does the same kind of job.

What do you give as late snack and what time is dinner? Dd has dinner about 5 and bed about 6.30 so I'm not sure she'd eat a snack.

DD's bedtime is a lot later. So, dinner at 5pm, snack at 7.30pm, bottle and bed at 8pm. Snack is normally cheese and fruit or crackers. DD is up every morning about 6am so I am Envy of the early bedtime.

Grass is always greener - I wanted her to go to bed later and get up later because then she's she dh when he gets homes from work at 7ish but I just can't keep her awake, especially on nursery days when she's happily go to bed at 6.
