Hi jessmum46!
Thank you for the reply!
Today, DD only woke up once at 5am. She took 3oz of the diluted formula but she settled right back down to sleep after her diaper change.
I'm guessing that wasn't an entirely typical day for you, could you post a more 'normal' day if there is one?
Here are her routines for the past few days:
Sunday:12am - NW, 6oz diluted & diaper change
A - 6am solo play in crib for 15 mins and back to sleep
E - 7am BM
E - 8am solids
A - 2:40 (due to 6am solo play?)
S - 1:25
E - 11:07a BM
E - 12:50p solids and BM top up
A - 2:30
S - 1:40
E - 4pm BM
E - 5pm solids
A -4:05 (we had visitors over)
BT - only 2oz of formula before asleep at 7:20pm (not her usual 4-6oz)
Saturday5am - NW, 4oz diluted formula, diaper
E - 7am BM
E - 8am solids & BM top up

Is she teething at all?
Yes she is teething. She had no trouble sleeping through the night during the last 3 teething sessions so my husband and I sorta ruled it out this time...
How much milk does she have in total in the day not including the night bottle? Just wondering if it genuinely could be hunger given she settles so well after a feed?
She drains both breasts after waking up from night sleep/naps. The last time I did a yield test, both breast yielded a total of 5-6oz. That was awhile ago so I'm not sure how much BM she is taking in on a daily basis. If she does not finish her solids I top her up with BM. She usually does not take in much after a solid meal.
Other factors: Wonder Week Leap 6; she's now cruising; she just started to pull herself up to standing
My husband also gets up at 5am for work....not sure if this is a factor too?
Thank you for your help!
