I formula fed my baby but I would always offer her paci in those circumstances and hope she went back to sleep. Sometimes it worked and sometimes it didnt.

I used to! Sometimes rocking with pacifier worked, sometimes nursing. It depended. My LO nursed a loooot and didn't seem overfull very often

@hilsy85: same. I pretty much tried anything.

I wouldnt worry so much about being overfull. I don't thill that much milk comes out when they are comfort nursing.

At that age I waited to get her and 90% of the time she would fall back asleep after 10-15 minutes

@jetsa: I started when she transitioned to two naps and her naps were typically longer. That was around 6.5/7 months. She typically has a two hour nap and a 1-1.5 hour nap. So if she wakes up early I just leave her til the hour mark. It's only happened a handful of times and she either just plays or talks to herself or fusses a bit but usually falls back to sleep.

Before that she was having 3-4 naps and they'd range from 30 minutes to two hours. It was harder to do it then. I'd try to nurse her back to sleep but if it didn't work she just got up cause she was going to go back down for a nap again in 1.5 hours anyways!

@jetsa: oh sorry They're all different aren't they? You could always try leaving him for a few days for the hour and see what happens. If he's throwing a fit upon waking he's probably still tired.
