Can I change the time of her night feed?

Not sure if this should be in feeding or sleep ???

Our 10 week old DD only has one night feed, having naturally dropped all of them but the 2am-ish one. She has a feed at 6pm, sleeps by 7pm, then wakes between 1 and 3am, then goes back to sleep until 6-7 am. It would be much easier for us if she would feed at 10-11pm, instead of 2am. I know this is probably selfish on our part, but...

Any ideas?

none - but can you tell me what you did to get get her sleeping through?!

i really think that your DD still needs a night feed and as she has dropped her other feeds, she will drop this in time as well

My DS held onto this feed (the 2 am one) until he was around 6 months

Thanks rubyslippers! We make sure we don't let her go any longer than 3 hours during the day without feeding, we never woke her to feed at night, and made sure we waited until she had fully woken herself up before giving her a night feed, otherwise she took less than she needed and woke again 2 hours later.
No idea if any of this is right or wrong, first time mum so really have no clue!
