My son will be 5 months next week. He is still variable on naps but I try my best to have wake windows of 2/2-2.5/2.5. Sometimes a 4th rescue naps is still needed. He gets anywhere from 3-3.5 hours of daytime sleep. He is consistently waking anywhere between 4:30-5 and WILL NOT go back to sleep unless help. I tried feeding him but it’s affecting his daytime bottles now so trying to slowly ween that feed. I’m not upset about the feed but the only way I can get him to sleep from 5-7 is by holding him. He’s still clearly tired and not ready to start his day at 4:30 so not sure what I’m supposed to do from here. I can’t keep holding him and creating this habit. Any advice?
Edit to add: bedtime is always between 7-7:30. Even on rough days and bedtime is moved up he still wakes at 4:30-5
