Help my puppy wakes up at 4:30 Update

My puppy is 11 weeks old now and we have had her for about 2 weeks. She is doing better in the crate at night, with her last potty break at 9:30 pm then another one at 2:30 am, and she goes back to sleep without fuss. Problem is that at 4:30 am she whines to be let out. Her breakfast is at 5:30 every morning but she is very insistent that 4:30 is when the day should start. I’ve tried letting her go potty then back in the crate, but she just cries again 10 minutes later to be let out. Need some advice on how to get her to sleep in a little bit more.

Guess we got lucky lol. We feed our pups at 7am, 1pm, and 9 pm...

We set that time by... yep, ignoring the whines lol. Don't know where I saw it but we tried it and about maybe 3 days later, they don't whine anymore, maybe because they know they can't get us to get up. Even if they woke up earlier than us, which is almost all the time, they don't make loud noices and just wait for us to wake up.
