For the last few weeks my 5.5 month old has been waking progressively earlier for the day. She normally gets up around 6/6:30 (I would prefer 6:30) but lately it's been creeping towards 4:30 am. She has between 4/5 naps a day most about 45 min but occasionally up to 1.5 hrs. She's usually in bed by 6:45/7pm. She goes down for naps and to bed drowsy but awake and is great at falling asleep on her own. She'll get up once around 2 am for a feed. Lately she's been waking around 10pm and 4 am as well. We've just let her cry/settle at 10pm and it usually only takes 15 min or so but 4 am she just cries for 45min and the only way to settle her back to sleep is a quick feed. When i do feed her she's not really hungry, you can tell it's a comfort feed. Its frustrating to take an hour to get her to back to sleep for only an hour before she's up again for the day.

Any suggestions on dropping that new wake up? She's about to start solids so maybe that will help?
