To introduce dream feed at 7 months?

My DD recently started waking around 10.30-11.30pm and around 2-3am. She was all over the place before this, waking any number of times from 1 to 6 or 7... She was sleeping through between 3-5 months, but then started waking more, probably the 4 month regression.

Nothing but a feed settles her for the two wake ups at the minute (she's EBF). Strange as it sounds I find the first wake up the most painful as it's just after I've fallen asleep so I feel very groggy. I've tried to stay awake later but I'm normally shattered by 9:30-10pm. I know some people do a dream feed before they go to bed, just wondering if this is too late to introduce now that DD is already 7 months? She goes to sleep around 7:30-8pm most nights and she can self settle really well unless we missed a nap and she's overtired.

Any advice much appreciated 😊
