Put rice in her bottles!!! Helps them stay fuller longer. Also, try and add in some baby food during the day! I do a thing of food morning & then at night before bed!

Do not put rice cereal in a bottle unless a dr tells you to! My best advice is to feed her as much as you can during the day, so she gets all of her calories needed and isn’t hungry. If she wants more of a bottle, give her more. Give her foods that she isn’t allergic to. Let her eat and explore new foods as well, being cautious of her allergies. But it is still normal for babies under 1 year old to wake up throughout the night. Hopefully you find a way to help though, I know how much those sleepless nights suck.

Never add things to bottles unless your doctor says so and knowing your child has allergies you don’t want to do anything that could cause additional issues plus at 7 months baby is going to be getting up that’s what they do. Your best bet is to snuggle and love baby when they wake up

It’s normal for babies to wake through the night for feedings and for comfort in my opinion but some say sleep training is super helpful pinterest has a lot about it
White noise! Works wonders for my littles.
By this time most babies sleep thru the night but most babies can have solid foods. It’s most likely because hes hungry. I would talk to the doctor . See if he can have more formulas since he cant have solids he probably will need to wake up
Rice in bottle just a little will help. You’ll need to make the nipple whole a little bigger. She can totally be on baby food depending on allergies. Fruits are always a good start. Pears and apples.
Do you know what she is allergic to? That will help when picking out baby food. Gerber or Beechnut. Ask your doctor. Also about putting baby cereal in bottle and what to buy. My friends son is 4 mo and eating Beechnut baby food. He loves it!!
Normal sleep for her age
Is she allergic to any baby foods? I’d fill baby up with some baby food or cereal so babys tummy can rest better. Baby may be ready for fresh soft fruits and steamed veggies cut up too. Only if baby isn’t allergic. I know you know if your baby is ready for that and you have an idea whether your baby is allergic. Please don’t put it in the bottle. It becomes a choking hazard.
I had cereal in my sons milk when he was younger ( with doctors approval due to acid reflux ) babies tend to get up more than others though. I gotten lucky, mines been an all nighter since 3 months old. You have to find out most importantly what is the child allergic to because that is a huge part as to why the child isn’t sleeping well all together and is using milk as comfort. Have them run allergy tests
This is normal? I’m not sure where the idea that your baby will sleep through the night before 1 or even 2 years old came from.
With my kids, it’s any kind of noise
Worked for a pediatrician . I thought it was strange when I first started working there. I saw it work.
If you want to feed her some cereal to give her some bulk for night.
Because of allergies do not use rice…use baby Barley cereal
She’s hungry. Feed her, add cereal may help sleep better
