10 month old - early waking?

Hi - our 10 month old has suddenly started waking around 5:30 in the morning, and this morning it was 4:40 AM!  He usually sleeps until 6/6:30.  Has anyone else had this happen?  I tried feeding him this morning at 4:40AM and laying him back in the crib and it did not work - he was up and ready to go.  His naps are suffering, too, because of the super-early wake-up.  I feel like I can't get him on any kind of consistent schedule.  Any advice?

He goes to bed between 6:30/7. He usually starts crying immediately when he wakes up, so I have tried leaving him in there for a bit and also going right to him and nursing him -- neither seem to work well.  He's just awake.  I'm hoping it's jus

My LO started doing this around 9 1/2 months.  He goes to bed at 7 and used to wake up between 6 and 6:30....now, he wakes up between 4:45 and 6. Ugh. It's usually around 5:30.

I wish I had advice.  We do find that, unless he is sick or

The hard part for me is not knowing if he is waking because he is hungry or another reason.  His last feeding is 6:30PM so I do wonder if by 5AM he is hungry, and then of course I feel bad about letting him cry in his crib if he's really hungry.&n
