7 week old always feeds to sleep

My baby is 7 weeks old, formula fed, and feeds to sleep at night and for every nap. The only exception is when I take him out in the pram, then he will fall asleep regardless of when he was last fed. Is it ok to still be doing that at 7 weeks? I don’t want it to be a problem but at the same time I really don’t want to disrupt his sleep as we are going through such a good phase at the moment!

That’s fine!
My DD fed to sleep until she was 3 & a half!
Follow your baby’s lead, it’s the easiest way, I promise.

It’s totally fine - he’s still so young! At the moment it’s absolutely fine just to follow his lead.

Yes definitely ok and totally normal! Also don’t worry if that changes at some point without you doing anything to change it. Babies change their habits all the time.

My DD was the same until she became more aware of what was going on around her, she manages to settle to sleep without just fine now she's 5 months.

It's fine, ds fed to sleep until he was about a year old, and dd did it for about 9 months. They both settle fine now. At that age, if that's what they need, give it to them.

Read up on 4th trimester. Your baby should still be inside you - they need you to just meet their needs. Nothing you do now will have lasting impact.
