Probably baby isn't getting adequate breastfeeding as weight gain too not upto the mark...... proper latching n attachment during breastfeeding is very important..... consult a lactation specialist

Plz check whether baby is getting enough milk.. If your breastfeeding is inadequate she might not sleep well..
