7 month old whiney, not sleeping great no interest in food

Hi all,
I have a 7mo girl. She is my first baby so I am concerned about most things 🙄.
My little girl is usually the happiest little soul I. The world and loves her food.
She had also been sleeping all the way through the night with the odd occasion of going in to give her a dummy.
Since Saturday she has pretty much been waking up every hour crying, mostly for her dummy I have offered her bottle so. The odd occasion and she may take 3 oz but at 3am in the morning. She seems unsettled.
Then she has started going off her food, doesn’t want to be spoon fed anything, taking bits of food she can her feed herself better but still not as good as she was.
She is very whingey and whiney during the day. Nothing seems to satisfy her and it’s feels like I am always putting her down for a nap. She can only stay awake for an hour to an hour and a half max without crying for a nap.

The only thing I have changed recently was that I moved her kiln from comfort to stage 1 as she no longer had xolixnossies and though it wasn’t really doing much good if she is eating foods really well. I did a gradual move with the milk.
Oh and her temperature is fine !
Any help would be much key appreciated !!
TIA

I don’t know if you buy into these but she’s at the right age for a developmental leap. Probably trying to get around but she can’t and it’s frustrating. Normally a few weeks of restless sleep, no interest in food and very very moody. It will pass try not to worry. Give her lots of attention, play lots of games, lots of tummy time and co sleep if you can? Good luck!

Thanks for Your reply. I have the leap app on my phone not sure how accurate it is as according to that she’s not due a leap for about 5 weeks. I did think it could
Be that.
Thanks again!

Babies often go through phases of just wanting comfort and milk, day and night. It can be though! It's also very normal for them to wake during the night, well beyond the first year.

Stage 1 formula is all you need. Any other type is unnecessary/a marketing ploy, unfortunately.

Thanks Vaseline in toast. I think it was Because I had changed her milk 👍 she’s not a very high baby, she doesn’t like being comforted when she cries she just gets worse 😞
