I'm making assumptions here, but I wonder if you didn't skimp on the rice from skepticism? i had to add a little more than was recommended for my son. I think they make most of their "suggested intake values" based on really underdeveloped kids.
I am mildly ignorant on the subject, I'm sure that'll make nurses upset.

I hate when people say get as much sleep as you can now, it's not like you can bank it for later use! You will lose sleep and possible come close to losing your mind. Just remember to put the baby down before you go apeshit and know it gets better.

My son was on the bigger side at almost 9 lbs when he was born. Eating and sleeping were huge obstacles. Breast feeding was difficult since he would literally eat constantly if you let him. We switched to pumping and supplementing with formula after a little while. Then we tried rice powder, and oatmeal, etc.. Every time we got to a point where people said, "he's going to start falling a sleep a lot easier when he starts eating this or that", it never happened. Even still at his daycare, they comment that he is a bottomless pit. He knows the sign language for more and how to yell no now. So when you pull him out of a high chair, he screams no and signs for more
. I think it helps with most kids, just maybe not all.
