7wk old bella seems to be doing well with the EASY routine.....
she sleeps from 7.30pm to 1.30am most nights DF at 10.30pm.... she is very hungry at 1.30 and eats heaps, but then wakes at 4.30 fir another shot feed do you think I could dream feed at 4.30 to get her to the 7am wake up? any ideas?

I used to do the exact same thing with my dd.  It worked for a while till she'd wake at 3:30 then 3 an it quickly became a NIGHTMARE!!!IMO, A 7 wk old needs those few feeds during the night because     They haven't stocked up enough calories during the day. Have you tried cluster feeding before bed??

Sleeping 7:30 - 1:30am at 7 weeks is fantastic!!! Sounds like you've got a good little sleeper on your hands. I would have given anything for that! Just like Noelle says, at 7 weeks she will definitely need several night feeds and that's normal. Cluster feeding, if she'll take it, may help though.
