How to drop the night feeding for a 3-month-old?
I am looking for some wisdom. My little one is 3 months and feeds 6 bottles a day at 150 ml. We feed her at 10 pm, 2 am and 6 am rigidly every day and the remainder during daytime when she requires.
She is in bed from 7 pm-6.30 am. She mostly dream feeds 10 pm and 2 am, but I have to change her mid-feed (so she isn't 100% asleep) as she gets so wet after 4 hours. The other times she wakes up 5 minutes before my alarm, so she is definitely hungry!
I am looking for encouraging ways to eventually drop the 2 am feed. I'm not desperate to do this, as she is stirring only at 2 and then about 6 am, but I do need to regain my own full-night's sleep where possible.
She was 6 lb. at birth and 3 weeks early so I don't want to be too hard on her as she is catching up still at 11 lb. 8 oz.

My son is 6 months and didn't stop his night feedings until 5 months. He is 16 lbs now was 6 lbs when he was born. I bathe him and put him to bed no later than 8:30. If he does wake up I put his binky in his mouth and he falls right back to sleep. That's how I broke his night feedings.
