Hello. As your baby is just 3 months old, you should give your breastfeeding every 2-3 hours gap and as and when he demands. If he is sleepy , you can wait for another 1hour or so more, then wake him up to feed.
You have to keep a watch on his hydration as well and hence feeding is important.
As far as his cough with fever and sleepiness is concerned, it is better to get him examined by a pediatrician, if you feel he is dull and too sleepy.
