What Can Cause Discomfort During Sleep?

I have a 4.5 month old and she sleeps the first 7 to 8 hours of the night quietly and then around 3am until about 7:30 she cries in her sleep. I generally feed and change her around 2am so I know it s not that......what else could be going on? This has been happening for about 2 months now. When will it end?

Pediatrician,  's  Response
She is probably through with the sleep and wants to wake up and play with you. You should train her to sleep a little later than every previous day on each subsequent day so that she learns to sleep from 11 p.m. to 7 a.m. every day.

I don't think there is any other reason. It is definitely not infant colic as she has passed the age for this problem.
