Is this starting a bad habit?

DD has been sleeping through the night (12 hours) since about 3 months old (she is 6 months old now).
I posted earlier that she has not been eating well for the last week or so (about 15-20 ounces total). So for the past week she has also not been sleeping great (she just learned to flip herself onto her stomach so we had to stop the sleep sack). she is up a lot at night, waking herself up because now she can move her arms.
So, around midnight she has been fully awake in the crib. So I have been sending DH in to see if she will eat and she will normally suck down at least 4 ounces. Is this starting a bad habit?
I do not want to get back into feeding her at night at all but I just don't know what to do since she isn't really eating during the day at all. Is this something that I should stop doing immediately?

ETA- I would never have thought to feed her at this time prior but since she hasnt been eating during the day I thought it was a way to get more formula into her.

I did the same with DS when he went through a phase like that. After a week or 2, he stopped waking in the middle of the night and went back to his regular routine. If she isn't eating enough during the day, she needs to make up for it at night...She maybe teething...

Try some Tylenol before bed..Or Motrin....It will come to an end once the worst of the teething is done with....

Re: Is this starting a bad habit?

with teething, they can have hours where they feel good and hours where they feel bad, so if she's not eating during the day, I'd try again in 30 min, and then again and again, I would never feed at night, I was warned by ped it would be bad habit.
