When a baby sleeps through the night

Now our baby Jack seems to be sleeping through the night - he is now 10 weeks old and I have to say for the first six weeks I could never see the day when he would sleep though the night... well he has done so for the last three nights, so fingers crossed this is a sign that this is going to be a normal pattern..

His pattern now is a feed at 9ish then at midnight and then he sleeps through till about 7am in the morning.. the question now is can we manipulate his evening feeds, so we can start feeding him earlier at say 10pm and then get him to go through the night?

It seems from this chart that most experts feel that you shouldn't skip that feed until he's three months old.. so we have a few more weeks to go yet.

We are considering putting him onto the Gina Ford the contented baby system - but we haven't finally decided yet.
