Yes. You can feed in sleeping position. Ask someone to sit near you, there is high risk of you falling asleep over baby.
Next Steps
Burp the baby for 15-20 min, to prevent vomiting

You can do it in sleeping position but it is good to give in siting or semi sleep position like slanting position. That is because sometime in sleeping position mother sleeps while giving milk and child will be unattended.
Next Steps
Child should be in slanting position, child head and chest should be at 30-40 degree angle. And do atleast 10-15 burping after each feeding.
