Regarding sleep pattern of baby

Question

Asked for Female, 31 Years

My 5 months old baby has a habit of "feeding to sleep" , that was the only way she used to sleep since she was born and now it has become a habit. Do i need to worry because I read everywhere that it is not a good way to make baby sleep and babies never learns to self soothe themselves and they unnecessarily overfeed to sleep. How to correct this behaviour because nothing else works !

This is the normal pattern, upto 6months they should be breastfed, and they go to sleep after feed. A baby feeds on demand, means when hungry.
