Still waking 5 times a night

Okay, I’m feeding to sleep but I just don’t have the energy to get up 5 x a night and rock my baby back to sleep. Have I created this by feeding my baby to sleep?

Putting baby to sleep on front

So I have always put my 9 month old baby on her back to sleep as per advice. I feel like since 4 months we’ve never had good sleep and now we cosleep.
