Sleep help

My baby is 5 months old. Almost 6 months.
I’ve recently started sleep training her. She goes down great around 7:30-7:45 p.m. I feed her at 7 pm. With our nightly bath and lotion rub down. She’s swaddled and I have a noise machine. Our little routine seems to work.
BUT
Two hours after she goes down she wakes up crying because she’s hungry. And I give her a bottle while she’s in bed. Propped up with a blanket.
And from then on it’s like every two hours sometimes less she wakes up screaming and I can’t console her until I give her another bottle.

So, is she actually hungry or is the bottle a clutch. What can I do to stop the waking so often. I’m so sleep deprived. And I live in an apartment so I know the crying/screaming has to be a lot for my neighbors.

I’m starting to get a little desperate for help. I woke up today to her screaming and I just wanted to cry lol. I know. I’m so dramatic. But, I’m just so tired. 🥲
Any advice would be much appreciated.

I should mention my baby has bad eczema and is constantly itchy. I know some days she’s just uncomfortable.

When do things get easier?

As we entered the 9-12 month stage, my son started crawling and pulling himself up. He also became more clingy and does not play alone, still doesnt sleep through the night, and this week has been sick (so EVERYTHING amplified). I am tired and overwhelmed. Please lie and tell me things get better. 🥺

Colostrum storing?

Has anyone successfully extracted colostrum before the baby’s born? Apparently it gets produced from 16w pregnant and you can start storing it in the freezer but I’m 34w looking at my nipples and the syringes on amazon wondering how it works?? Like what did you use and did it hurt? 🥲

Baby losing weight

Hi all, it's been a long time since I had a baby (my son is 15!). My daughter is 10 days old and was 9lb born, she has since lost weight at every appointment and is at a 12% loss. I am breast feeding every two hours for over an hour and topping her up every feed. I pump and can get 60ml in 10 minutes so I know my supply is okay. Anyone had this before? Can give me some tips? I currently feel like I'm letting my baby down.
