Proper positioning and latching are crucial. You can watch videos on YouTube on this topic and learn. She may not be able to feed due to nasal blockade also, for which you can use nasal saline drops. Sleeping pattern is irregular in these babies.

Day sleep and night cry is very common at this age group. What you can try ask your wife to stop milk and milk product consumption for next 1 month. Another thing try tummy time for your baby.
