Hi mummies My 4mths old girl used to wakes up at 4am however i try ti drag the time from 4.30 till now 6am. However for past two weeks,she has been waking up for awhile same timing 3am,5am when i pat her she went back to sleep.my concern is that normal? She will always go to bed at 9pm self soothe but e mid morning when she wakes up i need to pat then she sleep. I dreamfeed her at 11pm 160ml(only for night day time will be 140ml)hoping that the milk can last her till next morning 6am. Am i doing the right thing? Or should i stop dreamfeed her but wont be able sttn cause her last milk is at 8.45pm. Need mummies advice Thank you

Bedtime too late, that's why she's waking up at 4-5am. Ensure she's asleep by 1.5h after she's up from her last nap. You can keep the dream feed and drop it cold turkey at 6-9MO where they are capable of sleeping for 10-13h stretches since your girl can self soothe to sleep! Some babies wake up more with a dream feed. Maybe you can remove it and see if sleeps through the entire night. Otherwise, feed her at her first night waking.
