Try getting a copy of The Womanly Art of Breastfeeding by the La Leche
League International.  My wife has a copy and found that it contains a
great deal of good advice.  She says that switching between bottle and
breast can cause "nipple confusion" for the baby.  

Foods can cause a problem, like garlic, cabbage, beans and other gassy
foods.  The book mentions a mother that had a problem with breast feeding
because the spray deodorant she used irritated the baby.  Switching to a
stick deodorant fixed the problem.

If you want the baby to sleep try drinking some wine before breast feeding!
