A baby should be covered in one layer extra clothing than you are... so it depends on room temperature... do not let baby overheat... cosleeping is best for baby, getting your warmth.. but if you are worried of rolling over your baby, you can keep the distance. also if there are mosquitoes, better cover him... till 3 months, babies do not sleep well at night, and sleep pattern is not regular, so night they will keep waking up... always sucking, you said... babies fall asleep while feeding, so keep waking baby up when he falls asleep at the breast by tickling on earlobe or under feet.. keep feeding and tickling till he no longer wakes up. hope this helps! 😊
