Breast feeding in sleeping position is highly condemned. It is risky for the baby as the feed may get aspirated to the lungs.
Next Steps
Sit in comfortable position and support the baby well. And feed. Observe proper latching and sucking.

Hi.
Feed only on demand and when she is hungry. As babies grow older the feeding time reduces and duration between feeds increases. If baby is active and gaining weight adequately, nothing to worry.
