Now I am concerned re: Feeding Schedule

So my girls are almost 4 months old but have gone from every 3 hours to every 4 hours during the day, eating between 5-6 ounces each time.  So after their 4pm feeding, should we feed at 8pm and then let them last as long as they can or should we feed again at 11pm and see how long they go?

    I did a dream feed until it was obvious my kids didn't want it. I think it was around 4 months when I found myself having to keep them awake during the feed b/c all they wanted to do was sleep. At that point I dropped it. I wasn't about to drop it until I had a good feeling they wouldn't wake up at 4am hungry.]

    ETA: I somehow missed that you asked about an 8pm feed. Yes,  I'd definitely do that. I gave them a bottle just before putting them to bed for the night until they hit 16mo old. The dream feed was in addition to that.

    Can you give them another bottle between 6-7?  Then put them to sleep for the night.  That's what I do with mine.   They may take a 30-40 min nap between 4-5 but that helps them to stay up a little bit longer.  They have been sleeping thru the night since they were 9 weeks.
