Baby sleeping & attitude.
my baby is nearly 7 months, she used to sleep through the night until around 3-4 months. She now keeps waking up crying she’s having around an ounce or sometimes 5 ounces depending on how she feels in the night. We have weaned her she’s on 3 meals a day (she seems uninterested recently) she turns away when I feed her after a few bites and seems like she hates me 😂. She’s started crying at me a lot more for no reason. I don’t know if I’m doing something wrong or she’s going through a growth spurt but then the next minute she will be my best friend. She’s also started throwing tantrums (in a way) where she smacks and kicks as well as scratching and pulling anything she can get a hold of this only began recently. I’m a first time teen mum and I feel like I must be doing something wrong If anyone knows or has any advice I’d appreciate it.
She could be teething she’s got plenty of teething toys and we do give her calpol or nurofen to help but it doesn’t really change much, we’ve also tried teething powders ect.

How are her naps? How long does she nap for and whats her wake windows. If she is not napping enough she can be cranky and not want to eat. When my toddler was little she would not want to eat if she was over tired. And when she was actually teething, Tylenol didnt really make much of a different but teething does decrease their apetite. But sound like your baby is tired, pulling hair and fussing is tiredness
Maybe she’s teething my LO isn’t interested in food when his gums are bothering him
Have you tried letting baby feed themselves? My first would never ever be fed he’d only feed himself!
Very normal for babies to wake again after the 4 month regression and to need night feeds at this age though, tough but normal x
