Comfort feeding at night

My LO is one 6months old and is still waking every 1-2hrs at night and won’t go back to sleep unless I comfort feed! My partner can settle her without her wanting one but its difficult as he has to work in the morning but with me its like she sniffs the milk and refuses to be patted to sleep.

She used to sleep well between 6weeks to 3 months when she would only wake once at night for a feed which was a dream! But since her 4 month regression shes just never gone back. I thought starting solids would make a difference but it hasnt..

Any tips to get her to sleep through the night?
im considering putting her in another room as sometimes I think its from being around me and she is 6 months now but not sure if this will make a difference, have even considered starting formula and giving one feed at bedtime to see if she goes down for longer but ideally dont want to introduce formula at this stage..

Yes, I used to give one bottle last thing at night to get mine to go longer.
Is she actually feeding when she wakes, like she’s hungry? If so, maybe try giving a bit of supper.

Nope defo not hungry as shes litwrally waking every half hour and its more cos i keep putting her down in the crib i think she just wants to sleep in my arms so when she wakes and realises she cries. She has supper couple hours before going to sleep
