A. Sleep should be in a dark room.  Put baby down to sleep when he is drowsy, let him sleep on his own ,let baby fuss for few minutes, just go back to sleep, on his own, with no assistance

A. it is very normal for baby to seek comfort and security by having the breast in mouth you may breastfeed baby to sleep on bed and then gently try to slip away by putting your little finger in the corner of baby mouth to release the hold

A.   avoid this habit of feeding to sleep. after feeding change clothes, change diaper, swaddle, rock if necessary, or pat the baby . so baby learns to sleep on his own.

A. Newborns are like this Baby is using your breast to comfort himself and make them feel safe. Breastfeeding is not just giving nutrients to your baby also it's about making baby feel secure and comfortable. this phase doesn't last long hardly a year or little more. As babies get older they start to be more interested in their surroundings and not require constant feeding. It is fine for him to feed to sleep and to feed for comfort. Like we have coffee and tea for no reason. Just like that.
