Hey! Hang in there, you're doing great.
have you looked at either of the baby whisperer books? she touches on this.  One of the most helpful parts of the book for me was when she teaches how to read a baby's body language to see what they need. Maybe your baby waking after one hour is really indicating a different need than hunger.
