Is it ok for my 4 month old to sleep 12 hours overnight with no feedings?

We have started sleep training with my four month old. When she has been waking up at night we have just been giving her a pacifier and putting our hand on her chest. She usually falls asleep quickly. We used to feed her when she would wake up but since she has been accepting of the pacifier we have not. Her last feed at night is 7:30pm and she typically wakes up at 7am. I have started wondering if that is too long for her to go without food, because I have read that this is okay at 6 months, not 4. At the same time if she were hungry I would think she would reject the pacifier and continue to fuss upon waking. She is a good eater during the day and is above average in length and weight as per out last dr. appt.
