I would suggest you try a night with NO DF and see if she still just wakes at 6am, if she does you know she doesn't need the DF.  If she starts waking earlier you will know she does.

The usual time to stop is around 7months - more info here---> https://babywhispererforums.com/index.php?topic=54662.0

yesterday as usual i feed my LO at 11:30 pm she took only 1.5 oz  ??? and woke up at 5:30 AM  :o she used to wake up at 7-8 AM i wonder what's wrong since she is already taking cereal and she also sleep much less during the day.
it seems that when she was younger she slept better during the night.

could it be a growth spurt? if so, you would be looking to increase her bottles durind the day, especially if she is draining them.

thanks for the quick answer  :)
i can hardly believe that's the reason since she never ever finished completely a bottle i always prepare 1 oz more than what she'll probably take and if she finishes i  prepare little bit more right a way just to be in the safe side.
