Is this teething/weaning/something else

And how do I fix it!

DD is 7.5 months and we co-sleep. She already has had her bottom 2 teeth for about 2 months now.

She used to be a really good sleeper. She'd wake but a quick feed and she would settle back to sleep. However since she got to 6 months everything changed.

She's really restless, kicking, wriggling and pulling at her face. She won't settle after a feed anymore either. She doesn't like lying on her back - can babies develop reflux at 6 months?

Last night was the worst yet, she would usually whine a bit but last night she was proper crying. I had to get up to rock her and she was fine being held like that.

I thought about a weaning connection as she has lots of smelly gas. She seems to struggle to fart, I can feel her body tense up. I do BLW and purees as with the BLW she doesn't really eat much.

Any suggestions?

My DS is like this if constipated and also was horrendous for it when we were giving him a third meal of the day with us at 5:30pm (bed at 7:30pm), but did improve once we went back to just breakfast and lunch.

What times are you offering food?
