DD went down at 8:30 and is still asleep. I decided I just couldn't wake her up so I'm pumping instead. She sleeps a lot of 4-5 stretches but recently did as much as 7 hrs. She is 2 mos and EBF. I figure if she wakes up I do have some pumped milk in the fridge..

We did it when she was young and would be asleep at 9pm and I knew she would want food at 10pm, but I don't wanted to go to sleep at 9....so we would top her off and buy a better stretch of sleep

Yep! It was wonderful. We used it in a similar way to @blackbird.

We do most nights but it depends on when she goes to sleep vs when I go to sleep. She usually wakes up between 11 and 12 to eat and often I go to bed at 10 so I will usually try to feed her before I go to sleep. Of course last night I went to bed at 8:30 and skipped it so she woke up at 9:15...

No. I tried but it end up breaking up her first longest sleep cycle and she'd just start on her shorter interval wake ups earlier. It also just felt wrong to me to take the peaceful crib sleeping baby Id worked so hard for out of her crib to eat! Also a couple times she was too asleep to eat. So I gave up after a few tries.

i didn't--i was too scared of creating a need for him to feed instead of letting him just grow out of it. that being said, my LO dropped night feedings on his own at a decent age (about 4 months). i may have done dream feeds if our schedules and his needs had been different.
