Weaning an infant from night feedings

Does anyone have experience and advice on how to wean an infant from his night feeding and help him sttn? DS is almost 4 mo and has been pretty good about sttn. He goes down at 9pm and usually wakes up around 5:30am to eat and falls back asleep almost immediately after I put him on the boob. Problem is every once in a while he wakes up in the middle of the night and the only way I can soothe him back to sleep is by feeding him.... I don't have a proble with that but I know he's not waking up cuz he's hungry but because he wiggles himself out of his swaddler and thumbels around in his crib. He doesn't take the paci and clearly doesn't know how to self sooth... When he was in the bassinet I would rock him back to sleep and he would sleep till his usual 5:30 wakuptime but since we move to the crib the nights are so unpredictable. Any advice with this?

Thanks so much!!!

I definitely wouldn't feed him if he's not hungry. Do you have a swing you can put him in and see if that will soothe him? Also maybe try a different paci? i know with Ds we started witha Soothie pai but them he liked the playtex paci's better.
