Hi :)
DD is 6mo.
She's getting better at night sleeping and for the past few days has been having her night feed somewhere after 5am. I used to be able to get her back to sleep until 7- now I can't.

What do I do if she's awake like today at 5:45am?? I don't know what to do with my day! I've tried to get her back to sleep and she's just playing in her cot.

Should I not have fed her? I tried for a small feed but she was hungry (hadn't fed since DF at 10:30)

So how to I push her out to 7am? Do I really start the day at 5:45? Please help me work out what I do today now. :/

Thanks in advance!

Well, my go to reaction would be to try to feed her and hope that she settles back. If not, no option but to start the day and PD for a nap after the normal A. If you like, you could nurse once more somewhere in the middle of the A. You will probably end up with an extra nap that day to get her to bed(unless she does a loong nap)
