drop the morning feeding??

So, I'm trying to figure out the best way to do this. Our pedi said it was fine to go from 5-5oz bottles to 4-6/7 oz bottles. I'd like to drop the early am feeding, but not quite sure how to go about this. Here is our current schedule:

520am bottle (typically have to wake him to feed him but this is what works with our schedule w/ both DH and I having to get ready for work. He goes right back to sleep as my mom comes everyday to watch him and he sleeps until 7-8am)

930am bottle/breakfast

130pm bottle/lunch

530pm bottle/dinner

830pm bottle, bedtime

Would you just let him sleep and see what happens with the early am feeding? I'm considering starting that this weekend, but wasn't sure the best way.

TIA!

I'd definitely let him sleep and give him his bottle when he wakes up on his own. I'd continue the solid part of breakfast at 9:30 and pick up on that schedule from there.
