it's possible she's hungry, of course...but considering she only sleeps about 7 hours before she wakes up "hungry", it's possible it's just a bad habit. most 15 month olds sleep all night without waking up hungry, and usually thats 10-12 hours. i would be inclinded to think this is just a habit she has gotten into. you know your baby, so i could be wrong. but if it was "me" and "my" child i would try to break this habit. there's likely no need for her to eat in the middle of the night. she isn't going to like being told no at 3 am, so it might lead to some battles. but it's one i would find worth fighting, to get a good night's sleep while you still can. good luck!
