Hi Babies go through many phases and it might be that she is being lazy to suck or gets distracted by other things around. Try taking her to a separate room where there are just two of you. Close the curtains and then feed her. When the baby is hungry she would herself latch on to you no matter what so do not worry.

babies go through different changes at this stage, and it is possible your baby is already trying to wean off pretty early. keep trying to feed and make breastfeeding times more engaging while she is awake. at sleep time i am sure she is doing this more out of a comfort thing than real feeding.

it is possible that she is not really hungry but is looking for milk only as a comfort. most babies keep suckling while feeling sleepy as it makes them feel calm and secure. as long as she is not staying hungry otherwise and is active and healthy, i dont think you need to worry :)

May be, she feels like sucking something when she is sleepy and she does not need it when she is awake. Please wait for a few days and watch. Am sure she would be back to normal soon.
