Feeding to sleep

Any advice on how to stop a 20 week old breastfed baby feeding to sleep for naps and nighttime sleep. We seem to be in a routine where baby is hungry just before nap time as he refuses feeds at other times. As he feeds to sleep he will only nap on me during the day, wakes as soon as I move. He will go in his cot at night but wakes up 2-3 times a night.

This all sounds completely normal for a 20 week old tbh. Sorry not what you want to hear I know- will get better come weaning time i would suspect

@Onlyfoolsnmothers thank you, I'm quite glad it sounds normal. I'm really hoping it will improve when we start weaning.

i had a non stop feeder and chest sleeper it feels endless at the time- Id now love to go back to those times, excuse to box set watch.

I started laying my LO for sleep or nap time on her tummy and after 5mins turn her onto her back.
