How old is your baby?
When mine were very young i just let them dictate their own feeding pattern tbh. We had a rule:
Let sleeping babies lie!

Sorry - had to make tea!!
At 2 months mine were waking whenever they did. I found it useless to try and wake them as they had their own schedule. If I woke them at 11 then they'd still wake at 2 even though they didn't need a feed iyswim.
If it was me, I'd let her go off after her 7pm feed and then see when she naturally wakes for her next. Hope it goes well

Enjoy your sleep.

I agree 110%. I think waking once in the night at 2am for a half 6 start to the day must be 'nicer' than feeding at 11 and then at 4 (especially if she then stays awake from 4, eek!)
Do whatever you can for maximum sleep I say!

PS I think for a 2 month old, she is sleeping very well at night if she only wakes once

caz, we considerd teh dream feed too, btu when we tried it, we found that ds still woke for another feed at a little after his own time anyway. I agree - do not wake your lo!
