Try feeding solids 30 minutes right before bed and then give them 6-8 ounces when you lay them down. If that doesn’t help , try mixing oatmeal with it before bed. Also, if they are waking and eating then falling asleep, they are not feeding because they are hungry, it’s due to routine. Start taking away minutes for the feed time, or if you are willing to, try to let them cry it out and self soothe. Self soothing will ensure they soothe themselves back to sleep without your help and helps them regulate their feelings.

Early 8 month sleep regression possibly?
My LG hasn’t slept for more than 2/3 hours since 4 months and I feed her to sleep most of the time.
It’s not advised to put anything in with baby’s milk in a bottle (advise coming from midwife) as it can cause lumps, making baby choke and vomit.
Do they have a dummy? Do you use white noise? Are they in their own room?
They may be going through a growth spurt.
If you’re on Facebook have a look at ‘the beyond sleep training project’ 😊

@Jasmine respectfully it is proven that babies brain are not developed even remotely enough for them to regulate their own feelings. Even most adults are shit at doing so.

My 8 month old was the same last night 😣 all the feeds were long too so I assume she was hungry. No advice, just solidarity!
Well this only started a week or so ago. Also little one does not take bottle
