Sleep problem
My one month old baby wants to suck my nipple all the time. She cries so badly if I take her away from my nipple. Due to this she is not getting enough sleep, as she spends most of the time crying for my nipple. Even during the small few minutes of sleep (when I am away), she tries to suck her fingers but when she couldn't, she cries again and wakes up. I am so worried about this behaviour. How to change this? Can someone please help

She is crying because she is hungry.
She cries for your nipple because the feed is inadequate for her .
So..feeds must be regularised.

Feed the baby completely with one breast for 1/2 hour, then burp the baby and if still hungry offer the other breast
Alternate breasts for every feed
Don’t make it a habit to sleep with nipple in the mouth
