Dropping bottle andwaking early

My 6mo has had a 4am feed for last month and slept 730-7 with this. Sometimes she’s up for a while post feed and obv we have bad nights but this is sort of what she does

last week she’s stopped waking for her bottle and waking at 530 for the day ! I tried to feed her today but she’s only taking 2/3 oz pushing bottle away and it’s not sending her back to sleep. So I’m thinking it’s not hunger? I left her the other days as she wasn’t crying and just chatting. Today she didn’t cry either but I tried a feed incase it sent her back off and she was peckish. But she pushed it away

any other ideas? Or is this something babies do for a while once drop bottle?

her last bottle is at 630pm seems a long time to go without but seems like many babies can do it?

she’s on 3 naps a day. Roughly 3hours. Last nap is short

Likely for us when this happened bedtime is now too early and the last wake window needs extending. Sleep needs are dropping and doesnt need as much.

@ChittyBang1987 I thought that but she’s tired and cranky. Last 2 nights I actually managed to get her back to sleep by feeding her at 515 but she didn’t cry for it was just chatting. And she didn’t fall asleep on bottle but after some more chatting and bottle slept. She went back from 630 l to 730 so I think she does need that 11-11.5 hours.

I’m wondering about a 930 /10 dream feed?

No harm in trying a dream feed. Or stick with the early feed.. .if my lo is content in cot I always left her to it.

Absolutely no harm in trying a dream feed. Even better if you can get your DH to do it Wink
