I hope you are feeding him on demand and not every 2hours. When child is hungry he will be awake, crying he will feed well that time and may fall asleep during feeding but still sucking it's ok. Don't feed more than 20-30minutes anytime . Put your finger in his mouth and release your nipple's from latching.
