Might be worth trying a W2S for a few days, see if she will sleep through the DF time without getting the feed.

Well, it's what you'd do if for instance it was a NF (ie awake, not everyone does a DF when baby is asleep remember) and you got down to 1 or 2oz or even down to water only, then it would be a matter of helping get rid of an habitual NW.

The DF might actually be disturbing her sleep. If you pick her up to DF each night at the same time she might be rousing from her sleep and in effect you are teaching an habitual wake up.  I just think if it's come to the point where the feed is bothering her you can drop now to zero, do a W2S and see how it pans out.

So we are two nights without a feed at all.  I'm positive she doesn't "need" it. Thanks so much for your help. Two nights ago she slept all the way till morning without waking at all! !!!
We had only been giving one ounce at the night feed for the days!  Last night she had two night wakings but wasnt looking for a feed at all.  So glad to have that behind us!  Thanks so so so much for your help!

You're really welcome :)
Lovely to hear it's gone so well, it was scary but harder for you than her in the end I bet.

Great :)

For sure!  She slept 13 hrs last night with two brief wakings because with her being mobile now she gets her head stuck in the corner of the bed.
