For a few weeks Zachary was sleeping from 10pm until about 6am - then he started getting up again at between 2am and 4am. When and how did you drop that middle of the night feeding?
If I were you I'd get ready to be flamed b/c everyone is going to tell you that the baby makes the decision....not you. However, that being said, I dont always agree at this age. Depends on the baby and the situation. We used Sleep Easy Solution and DD now sleeps 7 pm- 7 or 8 am with one dream feed before I go to bed. She still takes same amt of formula...just during the day now. Good luck!
I just feed her when she wakes up. I assume she is waking up because she is hungry. She has been sttn the past week with the exception of last night. She got up once to nurse.....going through a growth spurt I guess.

I agree that you want baby to drop it; however, inject a little common sense into the equation, too. When baby J was 6mo, two drs told me he didn't need the night feeding any more - that he was waking up wanting a bottle out of habit. I didn't give it to him that night, and he hasn't cried for it since.
I have a friend with 2 year old twins. They still haven't given it up - and they go through EIGHT BOTTLES EVERY NIGHT!!! Can you imagine?!?
Re: When did you drop the middle of the night feeding?
When she stopped waking up in the middle of the night? I dont know how or why you would stop it otherwise??.........

At 3 months they are still hungry if they are waking up so feed them.
I he sleeping longer in the day? Causing him to want to nurse more at night?
DD didn't drop her middle of the night feeding until 10 months.
