Two nights more and here is how it is going...
The 4:00 waking is getting shorter, she is still having one other waking but it is a quick settle.  Now she is consistently waking at between 6:00 and 6:30.  I have been feeding her and putting her back to bed as it screws up our easy for her to start that early.  She sleeps until after 8:00.

So my next question.  If I am feeding her at 6:30 and putting her back down am I creating another night waking.  Should I be starting my day at 6:30 and just living with it.  I figure that is going between 7 and 8 hours without a feed and at 6 mo that is as long as I can expect.  Advice...

Have you tried to resettle her at 6ish without a feed? All babies differ so it maybe all she can do but some do more. Maybe see if you can. What time do you start your day when she fed at 4am?
