hey hun i went through this, gave my LO hungrier baby milk, her normal amount of oz's and some baby rice too to start, then she stopped liking baby rice so i gave her the powder flavoured food. if its still not enough put milk up 1 more oz. it wont hurt him. as for sleep we put our girls in a cot when they were rubbing there eyes tired and put v.low music on. it rele worked for us, as they had the bottle before bed it filled there stomach more so they stayed settled for longer. hope this advice helps/works. good luck x
