Bedtime routine

I have a 14 week old baby and for the past week, we have been doing a bedtime routine of bath at half 7, playtime afterwards, feed and then bed for half 8.
This has been working well for us and been sleeping from 9pm until between half 5 and half 6.
However; she's formula fed and usually feeds at regular 4hrly intervals during the day. Dependent on when she gets up, depends on her last feed.
Today, She got up at 6am so her last feed won't be until 10pm, which is far too late a bedtime in my opinion for her. And if I just left it at her 6pm feed, she'd be up in the middle of the night!

What does everyone else do if their feeds are awkard timings?

I’d just do something like 6am, 10am, 1pm, 4pm then 7:30/8pm

You could dream feed when you are going to bed, that might stop the night waking.

Thanks very much for the suggestions @gilbert82 @mybabyisperfect

I've tried the dream feed when we go to bed but usually disrupts her for a good while until she eventually settles and then she still ends up waking early!

Will try move her feed a bit earlier in the day and see how it goes!
