Need advice re: sleep

I'm not sure what happened but DD2 used to sleep from 6 or 6:30pm to 6am the next day with 2 wake ups at night. For the last 2 weeks though, she's been getting up for the day at 4 or 4:30, this morning it was 3:30! I nurse her when she wakes up at this time, hoping she'll go back to sleep but she doesn't. I'm at a loss as to what to do. Needless to say, I'm one tired mama :(

    Maybe stop nursing her, go in, pretend its the middle of the night, so what I do is give DD a paci if she wakes up and walk out?

    DD has been waking for the day much earlier than normal as well.  I've been reading Ferber's book, and he says that 9.25 hours of sleep at 6 months is typical, so it makes sense that she wakes so early if she's going to bed at 6 or 6:30 P.M.  Violet goes to bed at 7 and has been waking for the day at 4:30 or so.  If I nurse her and leave her in her crib with a book or toy, she'll sometimes play by herself and let me get some more sleep.  Occasionally she'll fall back asleep playing.
