Your baby cannot digest cereal efficiently:Let’s get this straight— in order to digest a grain like corn our body needs an enzyme named amylase which is responsible for splitting starch.But guess what! Your little one is incapable of producing amylase in large quantities as it takes about 1-2 years for it to come into play. There might be some salivary amylase production during the first 6 months, but pancreatic amylase, which is required for digesting a grain, is not produced until molar teeth appear.

As regards your baby 15-Month-Old Development Milestones: Toddler Month by Month. The average weight is around 10kg. So your baby is fine
Any age appropriate milk labelled 6-12 months is suitable for your baby.
At this stage, breastmilk alone is not enough for your baby at this age so you will have to keep offering variety of complementary food and feed him patiently by yourself.
You need a good dose of patience when feeding children especially those who are just learning to eat.

First i think you should stop baby day time breast feeding and feed other foods
Feed baby very very well at night
Gradually stop sleeping with baby at night. Let him sleep with daddy or any other person at home. Keep tea or water to give baby when he wakes in the night to suck and because it's not mummy, they will collect the water. If it is mummy they will keep rejecting it and crying cus they know eventually mummy will give them breast to suck
