A. It's normal only. Feed ur baby properly before sleep Put a good quality diaper Switch off light or dim light helpful while sleeping. Be with ur baby while sleeping Sing a song or lori Let ur baby sleep himself /herself It will help. It will take some time to the baby to adapt to the bedtime routine. Have some patience. Don't worry.

A. Babies will use breast for comfort and safety. Even when they are not hungry. They just wanna suck for comfort nothing else. They feel secure doing it so especially more at night times.
