Should I wake up to feed right before bed?

My baby goes from 7 to somewhere in the 1-3 am range. For awhile it was more like 2.30, now lately it seems to be more like 1 am or even just before. Should I try giving her a bottle of breast milk when I go to bed at 10 while she is in her rocker to see if that helps her go closer to the morning? I would keep her in her bed and have the lights off...just try to slip it in while she is half awake.

You could definitely start dream feeding her - I find that it helps my LO to sleep longer

Dreamfeeding never worked for me, but there's no harm in trying! For my LOs it just meant an extra feed as they still woke at their regular time for more milk.
