dreamfeed not working, wondering about sleep pattern if I stop.

my little girl is 5 months,at about 3, she started to skip the 11pmish feed, so I introduced a dreamfeed, hoping she'd go longer in the later part of the night instead. This worked for about a month, she started to go 5 - 5 1/2 hours from the df before waking instead of 4. For the last month though, she has started waking for it and only going 4 hours.
She's usually in bed by 8, and I'm starting solids in 2 weeks.
Thinking of feeding at 6ish, then giving the ebm that would normally be the df just before 8, and just seeing how she goes.
Thinking I might have messed a natural pattern up and hoping it might come back! what do you think!At the moment it's bed at 8, df 11, wake around 3 and 5,back to sleep til 8,which is one extra early hours feed to what she was doing!

Sorry I've no real useful advice. I've had similar situation, my ds now 6 months. Tried dreamfeed which worked well for a while and then he started waking again. He now seems to have settled into a pattern where he feeds at about 7pm before bed then wakes at 4am for feed then goes until about 7am. I stopped doing dreamfeed now because he still wakes at same times whether I dreamfeed or not. I just hope he'll drop the 4am feed sometime! but at least he does go back to sleep after feed mostly so not too bad.

Mia was a little better last night, so maybe just a phase as she's just started to rollover. As I'm starting solids in a couple of weeks when she's six months, I'm thinking that things will change soon anyway and maybe just hang on. Might move the milk used for df earlier once she starts eating.
