Well, she's probably not hungry because of her 4am feed, so if you want her to take that 7am feed again, what I would do is start to try and wean the 4am feed.  Two ways to do that are either just offer an ounce less for a couple of days, then take off another ounce for a couple of days, etc. until it's gone.  Theoretically, those ounces should be added to the 7am feed.  Another way some moms do it, if their lo wants the liquid is to water it down one ounce at a time.

sounds like pp is right my dd is right around the same age and as far as feedings go we are in the same boat she sometimes even eats less in the day especially if she has had more at nite.  Have recently started feed a small amount less at nite over time gradually increasing and have seen better day time feeding  also finding on the 3 hr routine she eats less some days so were also working towards a 3.5 routine

I could've written the exact same post as my dd is is also 12 weeks and doing the EXACT same thing this week.  We don't DF and she was waking at 4 am (then 5 am, and 6 am last night) and we were giving her just 2 oz at those wakings BUT she still isn't terribly hungry for her 'breakfast' bottle (maybe will take 2 oz).  Sorry I don't have any great advice for you but just wanted to let you know that we have the same issue.

Although today, she took 2 oz at 7:30, then refused to nap, and was screaming hungry after just 2 hours.  So confusing!!
