Starting formula for my 3 month old baby

I have exclusively breast fed my baby so far. She was 2.5 kg during birth and 4.6 kg at 3 months+ 1 week. Recently her night sleep changed, her first stretch is around 2.5 - 3 hrs, then she wakes up every 1 h nearing wake up time she wakes up every 30 minutes. I got no sleep for the past two weeks. Since last week she's not taking feed properly, my pediatrician said it's due to gas build up and gave meds for 5 days. Now she started to feed properly again. Since I started this she's passing so much gas, during night sleep she screams while passing gas. So even the minimal fragmented sleep I get is very disturbed I don't know how long I can survive like this. People are saying that she's wakes up often because she's growing and gets hungry often, I'm planning to offer formula only before bedtime , so she atleast gets one good stretch. During night wakings I'm planning to breastfeed only. I want formula and quantity recommendation that doesn't cause gas, constipation or obesity.

Repetition of Vit D3 dose

My 11-year-old son had vitamin D deficiency last year; his level was 13 ng/mL. We gave him vitamin D3, 600,000 IU weekly for 8 weeks, followed by 1,000 IU tablets for 2 months. However, after one year, his level dropped to 11 ng/mL. Should I repeat the 600,000 IU dose?”
