Dear parent,
You have not mentioned if the child is breast fed or top fed. If the child is breast fed, which she should be, then you need not give her any thing. NO JANMA GHUTTI NOTHING.
You eat good nutritious and balanced diet regularly that will make good quality milk for her.
Even if top fed, make formula as prescribed, if packet milk then check with her pediatrician how to make it properly. In this case also she does not need any ghutti.
As far as sleep is concerned this pattern is normal for children. They don't sleep according to you but you need to adjust according to them.
If she is happy, passing urine motion and gases, increasing weight you need not worry. Adjust yourself with her.
