11mo refusing food, milk and sleep

Until a week ago, I had a poor eater, but a child who basically slept from 10pm until 4/5am and then who woke up at 7am. Since four nights ago, she has been refusing food, milk, naps and sleep. She’s crying now having been fed at 10pm...

The routine is below.

7am get up-usually small BF
8am breakfast (all babyled but usually some toast, cereals, fruit-she doesn’t eat much but no way will she take a spoon)
She has refused a morning nap for the last two months
1030am 80mls sometimes
1145pm lunch
115pm sleep (fighting crying, recently refusing proper bf)
Eventually asleep at 2pm ish
3pm awake refusing milk
5pm tea and small formula feed as she’s not eating much
630pm bed and bath. Screaming crying refusing BF
10pm awake BF sleep
2am crying. Husband tried to give bottle of water to stop her getting into habit of night feeding

She’s still crying now. So I’ll try feeding her

She’ll be up at 5am

I am honestly on the verge of losing my mind I am so fired. She refuses to eat. So nothing I can do.

She might be teething, so maybe give her some calpol and see if it helps at night.
What does she eat during the day. Do you give her snacks because you are worried she isn't eating her meals.
In the 2 hours prior lunch/dinner she shouldn't have anything to eat or milk/juice, only water otherwise she won't feel the hunger.

What do you usually give her for lunch and tea?

Probably teething.

All you can do is smoothies, frozen smoothies, fruit juice/ yoghurt based ice pops etc. Can you spot any ridges in gums?
