hmmm, never had that problem, Spencer is always up for a feeding, no matter what! I do know that the DF doesn't work for all babies, perhaps she is one of them. Did she eventually wake for a feed anyway? If that works for you and she settles back easily then why mess with it? Good luck!

You can also experiment with the timing.  If the baby is too deep into sleep she may not open but if you try 20 minutes later it might just work ;D

Yes, I must say it was very funny, lol!! She woke up an hour later! She is great to get back to sleep usually within 30 min. from thr time we begin feeding but I still wish to get rid of the middle of the night feeding. We'll see! Yesterday I was home all day (so was not able to ruin her routine) and she slept for 2 hours and 2 30-45 min naps after. I think because of that that she slept for 6 hours that night ;D I was thrilled to say the least but since her bedtime was 7pm we woke at 1am and then 4 so really that was almost worse as we had to wake twice in the middle of the night! However, it was great to know that she could sleep for 6 hours! She is crying now so gotta run....
