DS wakes up very early about every other day...4:45, 5, and so on. I try p/s or replacing paci and he drifts off, but only for a few min.
How can I get him over this? I think 6:30 is already plenty early to wake up! Ive even tried feeding at 5, and it didn't help him go back to sleep either. Please see info below. Thanks for any advice!
