7mth old screaming

[Weaksauce]

Hello my 7 mth old lg has been on food from 5 mth old at first she ate everything we gave her . She stil wont sleep during the night waking 3 or 4 times a night . The health visitor told me to feed her things like jacket potatos fish fingers and a weetabix for supper . Still no joy now she screaming until she gets her bottle refusing to eat a thing im at my wits end i really dont k ow what to do . Any advice is much appreciated

Sorry but waking 3-4 times a night at seven months sounds normal to me, my DD is the same age and that'd be a good night for us - but then I'm breastfeeding I can appreciate it's harder if you need to make up bottles each time. Can you settle her back without a feed? Sometimes my little one just wants quick reassurance and a pat/shush works. The research evidence says there's no link between food and sleep so if your health visitor told you feeding those things would help sleep I find that strange. Definitely not a good plan to make food a battle if she's not keen, which I'm not saying you are, but can see how you could get in a trap of pushing food if you believe it'll help sleep which it won't, it'll just frustrate you both.
