Sleep Cycle in smaller babies is very different and they have a certain pattern initially  which becomes regularize at around 6 to 8 months of age and if the baby is comfortable with no irritability because of infantile colic nasal blockage any regurgitation etc  you should not worry just give a comfortable position to the baby and no medicine is required.
In children above one year of age you have to just make a proper discipline for the child so that gradually the child will develop a proper schedule and avoid too much of screen time and other activities at least oiine hour before sleep also make the room environment and temperature fvavourable for the child to sleep.
toddlers may have night terrors and nightmares which needs to be managed accordingly.

Hi mom
Express ur milk and see if u can get around 40 - 50 ml of milk... If yes then ur feed is sufficient.
New born babies have very small tummy so they feed very frequently..
If ur baby is active and comfortable otherwise, passing out urine 6-8 times in a day then that means ur feed is sufficient for the baby
