Question about 4 month wakeful period

So DD has been STTN now for about 6 weeks.  For the past 5 nights, she has woken up 1-2 times.  I was able to get her back to sleep within 10 minutes each time without feeding her.  

Not sure if this is the dreaded 4 month wakeful period? Or is the wakeful period usually because of a growth spurt so LO is hungry when waking? Or maybe something else is going on with her.  Thoughts?

    I think there are a couple theories about why babies wake more at 4 months.  Could be a growth spurt, or she could be so distracted during the day by all she is observing that she genuinely isn't nursing enough to get the calories to feel content
