Your baby is has been using nipple as pacifier. So u can use a pacifier artificial nipple after night time breastfeeding. To remove baby’s mouth from nipple gently pass or insinuate one finger between babies mouth angle and nipple and withdraw baby slowly.

Hi.
Baby is using nipple as pacifier.
Increase the complementary feeds, so the baby is full and will not demand more milk
