My baby is 3 months. I feed him while sleeping at night. does it affect his weight?

I’m unsure of specifically what you are asking I’m afraid. Do you mean that you are feeding your baby in a side lying position in bed at night? If your baby is truly asleep, then he obviously won’t be sucking and swallowing. That would then impact his growth depending on his age and how many other feeds he is having in 24 hours. As a general rule of thumb, if your baby is happy and settled, they are growing well, and having a good diaper output, then they are likely taking in enough milk.
