Nursery nurse - help with sleep

Hello, I was wondering if anyone have had any dealings with a Nursery Nurse to help with sleep.
My my son (now 7months) has never slept well at night. We have had a nighttime routine in place for some months now and he goes to bed around half 7pm every night after bath > bottle. However, he still wakes up in the night to have a bottle and often I am awake with him every hour to comfort him, put his dummy back in, turn him over etc. We saw a Health Visitor a few weeks ago and she has referred us to a Nursery Nurse however we aren't really sure what to expect ahead of her visit.

We did. We discussed various options and tried disappearing chair and tried it out then decided it wasn’t for us. One bottle a night is not much at all at 7 months.

Oh what is the disappearing chair act? I haven't heard of this term before...?
I suppose One bottle a night might not seem like a lot but all our baby friends of the same age or similar have already mastered sleeping through the night but we are sadly up 5+ times a night. This kinda feels like a sore subject as 7 months later, the lack of sleep is now starting to catch up and its getting difficult to cope with. I'm sure you can relate?

My little one is now 3 but still doesn’t always sleep through. I have another one on the way soon.

At 6 months everything went to pot for us too. It was the worse sleep regression. I started cosleeping and DD went from 3 to 2 bottles and slept well apart from the feeds.

Try not to compare your baby to others and sleep is not linear so just because friends’ babies are sleeping now does not mean they always will be.
