Tracy suggests between 10 and 11pm.  Maybe you could try10:30 and see how it goes.

The thing is she`sused to eat from 10pm-10:30pm and from 10:30-11 we did bath( i now know it was my big mistake, because she`s used to being awake) and i fed her also at 11pm wright after bath so she can be full before night. SO she is used to eat at 10 and 11 and if i feed her at 10- 10:30 and put back to sleep shell wake at 11 for some more. My question is is it OK if ill feed her for the whole hour she wont eat for hour, shell fell  asleep in the middle and then will eat more. Please tell me what you think. Thankyou!

A dream feed takes place when baby is sleeping, so they are in a sleepy, dream state, no eyes open.  My DS never woke and then I just put him back to bed.  We did a cluster feed at 5pm and 7pm and then I did the DF at 11pm.
