Weaning cosleeping and NWs 5 mo

[mianita]

Well, I've posted on different boards on this forum and finally I'm here on NW

My DD was sleeping in my bed since birth, not only nights but days as well. At 4 months we started on 3,5 EASY and since then she naps in her crib. She is a bad bad bad napper, but we have impovements and instead of constant 30-45 min naps I get 1,5-2 hour here and there.

Well, finally I decided to move her to crib for the nights as well. She is 5 months and 1 week and on 4 hour EASY. Tonight will be our 4rth night and I have several questions.
First night was a nightmare for both of us, she was constantly waking up looking for me. I used shh/pat a looot and some pu/pd. Last night was way better. She wakes every 2-3 hours. I fed her only after 4 hour mark (as this is her normal time during the day, so I assumed she shouldn't be starving at this point). Other times it seems she just wanted some shh/pat... I tried not to rush to her, but she didn't settle herself. She goes to sleep by herself usually, with some second-couple of minutes of screaming (no tears). But it's hard for her to move through sleep cycles, I often use some shh/pat to extend her naps.
Today she had two 35 min naps and now is sleeping for 1,5 already and slept through her feeding time. So should I assume that she probably doesn't need her night feeding? What will be the right way to go with NFs in our case?
Last night she was asleep by 7.30, then wake up in 40 min, and then at 11pm, here I fed her. Next feeding was at 3am and then at 7am when she woke up.
Should I stick with 4 hour feeding during the night?

It's just I'm not sure that this will help her to have less NWs. She doesn't have any clock, right? Well, she took good feeds though, so probably she won't be able to have long stretches...

Any advice will be highly appreciated!! I have no sleep at all, but I was ready for this of course! I just want this not to be a terrible experience for her... She reacts really good on ssh/pat, but it is also becoming a prop I suppose. But for the moment I don't think there is any other way to help her to sleep at night.
TIA!

Thanks a lot! Will try some AP, but lately she even doesn't sleep in carrier after 4pm... Before it was 100% of success with it, but now she just sits there quietly and looking around, doesn't fall asleep. But will try
I really hope that it will become better with ssh/pat, sometimes she needs just seconds of it, its like she is waiting for me to come and help her...

[mianita]

thanks for advice! Actually I don't talk to her at all during naps extensions and in the night, just shh... So probably I have to start talking I just afraid that this will wake her more. I'm trying to be very quite and don't make any sounds at all except sshh
