Good Morning
I got your concern
I advise you to avoid feeding while you are sleeping
Baby may need your warm care ,which you can give him otherwise
Ask support from other family members
Maintain your health
As long as baby is gaining weight and passing urine properly no need to worry
For more concern
You can always contact me online
Thank you

greetings, You follow some discipline . Never feed the baby sleeping . You always sit up and feed.. do burping in between two breasts, always start on one side and next time other breast to completely empty the breast .you tickle him while feeding on his fore head or cheeks ,so that he does not fall asleep
Next Steps
take all precautions against mosquito,, covid 19. think of immunization,hygiene , proper feeding technic.
Health Tips
