Good morning This is a normal thing for a baby. They sense a feeling of comfort and satisfaction while doing so. Also full stomach helps them sleep better, hence you should continue the same. If the baby is more than 6 months of age, you can start complementary feeding/weaning diet, that will help. Thanks
Next Steps
start complementary feeding
Health Tips
continue breastfeeding along with complementary feeding
