Should I start weaning yet?

DD has decided to start waking up at 5.30-7ish every morning for a feed. This is not norm for her. I was happy to go with it, thinking it wouldn't be for long, but it has been a while now (a week or so).
Is she ready to wean?
Should I start giving her some food between her last night feeds (second to last feed at 7ish and last at 8.30ish)
Most books say to give lunchtime feeds first, but she needs to get through the night, will a lunchtime feed help??
So confused by it all and totally feel that it is too early! She is just 20 weeks, 21 on Tuesday.
Help!

"I'm all for healthy debate, but some posters should take a good long look at themselves and perhaps think of the phrase "do as you would be done by" before posting their messages. "

Clearly.

Oh, christ, any parent who uses the term "potty mouth" genuinely needs shooting.

sorry, but pmsl at 'personal attack prone fora'. how monumentally pompous. good luck in your search for these fora, jinglebelle, hope you don't get any dangerous advice on them. i can see that it's much more important to be kissy-wissy than correct.

Theme from Fatal Attraction would be more appropriate.

When is it ok to introduce boiled bunny anyway?

What is the them from Fatal Attraction?? Cant remember...

My daughter had breast milk at 7pm then again at about 10.30pm and would sleep until at least 7am - from 11wks to 19wks - then she started to wake early again 4/5am.

I just put up with it and waited until 25 weeks. I assumed she was needing more milk as she was getting bigger.

I had her on 3 meals a day by 29 weeks (lunch first then breakfast then dinner). And she is now sleeping again until 7am, she's 31wks
