7mo difficult to nap, fussy with bottles, screams

[LoveAndPatience]

Hi all,
Just looking for reassurance and someone that's has been through the same .. and can tell me it does get BETTER !
Since birth my 7mo girl was difficult. Colicky, difficult to settle for nap, lots of contact napping. Was BF for 2months but was so agitated while feeding that needed bottle top ups as wasn't latching well even after consultations with lactation specialists. Now exclusively bottle fed with ready made formula as was even more fussy with powdered one. Was able to sit up at 5.5 months , 2 teeth out at 6months. Has been waking at least 2-4times a night , crying. Never sleeps through the night. Most of the time not even wanting to eat. Gets frustrated on her tummy after 10mins. Can roll back only on bed ,not floormat🙄
Solids are okeyish, likes pures, still working on finger food . She just moans a lot. Sounds like she struggles with frustration of not being able to do stuff. Seems overtired in the evening even when putting her to bed at 6.30pm . Wakes always at 5am babbling , which is exhausting for me , and wants to nap by 7am. Some days she still has 4 naps (30min-45min each)
HELP , PLEASE TELL ME YOU'VE BEEN THERE !

We have!

Does it sound anything like these symptoms?

Hey SiouxsieSiouxStiletto . Thanks for your reply. It looks nothing like this. She was checked by speech and language therapist too. No tongue tie. I'm a midwife myself so do have an idea of what to watch out for. But again I only deal with newborns , and most if the time premature ones. So anything 3m + is new to me 😅
I guess I just have a little miserable diva... hope she grows out of it 🙄

Sine of what you've said could just be regular baby behaviour. Waking twice at 7 months is developmentally normal, as I'm sure you know. Kellymom has some useful links to articles on normal sleep.

When you say she's always been difficult, can I ask how your birth was? Was it traumatic by any chance?

And if it's not TT, has CMPA been ruled out?

Birth wasn't too traumatic. Started off with normal contractions for 12hrs. No progress. When in hospital both our heart rates went up , they suggested that I'm having an infection and suspected my waters broke a little days prior as was bleeding for a day. Ended up having emergency section but no immiediate threat to life. All was good afterwards.
When she had my milk she still was grupy, and I don't eat much diary products. No skin reactions or diarrhoea.

Just thinking if there is any point trying to force her to sleep for longer in the mornings as I'm knackered buy just getting more frustrated trying to get her back to sleep for half an hour and usually with no success.

Thanks for the link, love a good statistic 😁
