My 7 month old daughter still is having trouble sleeping the whole night. I feed her a whole jar of baby food around 6:30, bath at 7:30 and 5 oz. of formula at 8:00 right before I put her down. And she still wakes up 1-2 times during the night for a bottle. Any advice or suggestions?

don't feed her when she wakes up, she is getting used to eating each time she wakes and you will have to break her of that habit. the less physical contact you have with her overnight the better too, so if she wakes, you can rub her back (or do nothing and let her cry), the first few nights will be rough but once she figures out there is no food and she can go back to sleep alone she will wake less or wake and you just won't know it
