Really struggling with my 7 month old

My daughter is 7 months old. She can roll and she can sit up attended. But shes constantly screaming at the moment..I know some of it is frustration because she wants to do more than she can..she isn't moving. Shes trying to crawl but can't achieve. Does the screaming get better? Also shes started waking up again thru the night which is unusual. She usually sleeps thru. Im not bothered if she wakes to want something. Like milk or a cuddle but generally she wakes up wide awake and its a fifty fifty if shes going to drop back off. Im so so tired. Has anyone got any ideas? Sorry if this makes no sense. Im absolutely exhausted

It sounds so so difficult! My baby girl has just turned 7 months and she's been waking much more in the night as well. Partly I think it's just part of her normal development and partly I think it may be due to teething pain. Has your girl got any teeth yet?
At this age as well they are starting weaning and getting used to new foods so a lot is changing for them. My girl went through some nights where so woke up every hour or so but last night slept from about 1am till nearly 7am which is much better. I think if you just persist a bit her sleep might get better on it's own.

@Leah91 she has 3 teeth already. 🙈 I didnt know weaning would be so bad for her sleep. She hardly ever naps anymore. Such a hard age. She definitely wants to move but she can't. And it really annoys her

It’s a faze. My DS is 11 months and used to scream the house down out of frustration until he figured out how to army crawl. It stopped for months and has started again slightly as he is nearly walking.. however now it’s just screaming ‘mama’ constantly. it gets better I promise. Xx

Hahahaha I have the screaming and a 7.5 month old. It just comes from nowhere and all I can put it down to is frustration, glad you have said the same thing. My LG is unlikely to crawl any time soon as she has been sitting so well from before 5 months that her tummy time has gone to pot and she screams when I put her on her stomach now. Hope the random screaming eases! Re sleep, throughout 6 months we had nearly hourly wakings, but these have massively eased now and as she hit 7 months she suddenly became capable of putting her dummy back in so I’m getting so much more sleep now

I definitely think it’s the weaning my baby is going through the same thing he is 6 months and since I’ve started weaning he wakes up through the night my doctor said baby is dehydrated try more water I have to syringe mine because bubba don’t like it.
