  I'd guess it's getting to be a habit now. If it was me and there is nothing wrong with her when she wakes (wet starving bleeding etc) I'd start letting S CIO and put himself back to sleep at this point.

  Hope the cycle breaks soon.

  I feel the same way. But now instead of three it has been 4am. Jay wakes up about 5min before H's alarm clock goes off.

  Try waking her at 2:30 or 2:45. It's something called Pre-emptive Wakening (actually, I think that might be the wrong name). Ferber footnotes it and my pedi said something about it too. If a baby is waking at the same time every day, for some reason if you wake him up a little before they would on their own and do the same things you would usually do (feed,change, whatever) it somehow breaks the cycle. There was a point when DD was waking up at 1am and I went into her room at 12:45am and it woke her out of a deep sleep but she didn't totally wake up. She didn't wake up at that time for a while after that.

  GL getting some more rest!
