My daughther is 5 months old now. Last milky time is normally 12:00 pm which is feeding by myself normally. I just wonder if I should ask my maid to help to feed her. FYI, my maid will go to bathing at 10:00 pm, then sleep. She'll wake up at around 6:30 pm, take her breakfast, then start to work. My baby normally wake up at 7:30 am. I'm not sure if it is reasonable to ask her to feed the last milk. Any comment?

You may ask her to feed, but I don't recommend you loh. Frankly speaking, your maid also need enough rest, esp if she needs to take care of your baby during day time and also do housework.
My experience was that I would let my maid to go to bed as soon as she finishes the housework, around 11pm, then. My husband will feed my baby around 12mn, and then, I get up at 5am to feed again.
Both my husband and I were very exhausted at those days, but, it would be safer as we afraid that if maid was too tired, she might not take care of the baby properly, e.g. she might make too hot or too cold milk for your baby, or even put wrong portion of milk powder, however, you would not know it if you let her to do herself.

I think your baby is new born. If the last milk is before/on12:00, I will ask my maid to do it. Or, ask my maid to feed the baby earlier, say 11pm, but the baby may not finish the whole bottle since the baby is not hungry. Sometimes, the baby wake up at 2:00 or 3:00am, I or my husband will feed the baby. I never let my maid to have a nap in afternoon. They will do it everyday even they are not tired.

If you are a working mother and feel tried to feed the last milk at midnight. You can either swap the maid resting time for BB or swap the BB milky time for maid.
For my case, when BB was 2 months old and I need to back to work, since my maid wake up at 6:00-6:30am normally, my maid fed the BB at 10:30pm and then 6:30am in the next morning. I asked the maid to bath before the last feeding time and then she could sleep at once after feeding. 1 month later, since the bb could sleep longer at night time, I extended the duration of the night feeding time (10:00pm and then 7:00am).
I think it depends on how you communicate with your maid. my son already been 7 months old, no night milk since 3 months old, but for some reason he still waking up at night few times at night and look for his "lai che". Honestly, I have no energy to take care of him as I have to work. My agreement with the maid is I put baby in the living room during the weekdays and she takes the responsibility to look after him coming out from her room when baby cry. If the next day is holiday, I will put baby in my room and take care by myself... fair enough??!
I don't mind and can't control the maid to take a snap while baby sleeps as no one at home during day time. however, as long as she can take a good care of baby, I am ok with this.
