Hello, babies typically will feed every 2-3 hours if the supply of breastmilk is normal. If you think he is still hungry try re-feeding him. He should then be burped by gently patting his back. His finger sucking may be a way he comforts himself and not related to hunger. Babies should sleep on their backs and he is due for his two month vaccines at this pediatrics office. Thank you for your question.
