17 Week old Sleep continuing to get worse - Help please

At 6 weeks dd was almost sleeping right through and now at 17 wks she is waking 2 or 3 times in the night and won't settle unless fed.
We thought at 15wks that she might be teething but no sign of that yet.
She is primarily breast fed but we started with some babyrice in the evenings last week but it doesn't seem to have improved it much, maybe cutting the wake ups from 3 to 2.
Any other ideas on what we can do as it is so frustrating when we don't know what to do about our previously great sleeping baby.

sound to me like she might still be hungry. I know the is a lot of different opinions on when to feed solids but at 17 weeks our ds was having 3 small meals a day. she started sleeping much better again. we gave baby rice or pureed fruit.

she may also be in the early stages of teething, where they are not cutting the surface yet but still bothering her. Have you tried Teetha granules?

Looks like she is showing signs of hunger. Mine is 21 weeks and is on 3 small meals a day and he started at 17 weeks on solids. He is now sleeping well most nights. we began on a teaspoon of babyrice at 11a.m. then slwly progressed from there. He only has about 4 teaspoons per meal but he is sleeping better.
