7 month old doesn’t sleep

Hi

looking for any advice or anyone in a similar situation ! My daughter used to sleep like a dream. I could put her down awake and she would put herself to sleep either by sucking her thumb or a dummy. As soon as she turned 6.5 months which was a month ago, she started waking multiple times a night. She has a milk allergy (since about 1 month old) which she has Nutramigen milk prescribed for and I started weaning her at 6 months.

She has cut two teeth in the last month and the reflux has been awful since weaning - to the point she is sick at least every other evening sometimes every evening or in early hours screaming in pain until she’s projectiled - spoken to doctors who’ve prescribed gaviscon infants but even just one sachet makes her painfully constipated so that’s created a new problem.

sorry this is long! I’ve now cut out all food and gaviscon and am just giving milk which has stopped the vomiting - however she is still waking multiple times per night and will wake as soon as she’s put down - the only way I’m getting her to sleep is if she basically lies in my arms all night. Any advice? Are anyone else’s babies having a hard time sleeping at the same age? I’m praying it’s a regression or more teeth coming through!

TIA!
