The baby sucking your breast instead of suckling even after adequate breast feeding is called comfort feeding. She will soon outgrow it

Better give direct breastfeed on each side for around 15 minutes. After that, if baby is not sleeping for next 1 to 2 hrs, that indicates Breastfeeding is inadequate. Try to improve ur lactation (milk secretion) by drinking 3to 4 litres of water in a day, take milk secreting food items like green leafy vegetables, methi, jeera etc.
