I really think you need to give her something to fill her up - and that means either carbs or protein.

So I think i would shift her cereal to dinner time, but also start to try some protein elsewhere on the 3 day rule so that your options start to expand. Fruit and veggies are so low in calories that they will not stop her from being hungry and needing overnight feeds.

Were you planning on starting any meats soon??

Yesterday evening she seemed pretty full as she refused her cereal. Then she drank 11ozs before bed.  :o  I didn't hear a peep until 5am. She settled on her own and woke up again at 6:18am.  I didn't want to start our day then so I tried to AP her back to sleep and then I moved and the floor cracked.  >:(  She woke up so I fed her a little bit and put her back down. I think she snoozed for 10min.
