Cluster feeding or using me as a binki?

Question

My baby boy is 2weeks 5 days and for the past week he has been non stop on my breast! The only time he isn't on me is when he naps and that's only once a day for two hours!!! What do I do to stop this???

Answer

Unfortunately can't offer help but my newborn is 2 weeks and 5 days as well and did not sleep last night. Fed all night. I've had an hour of sleep - chopped since 9pm. I've had him on the breast, fed him 2 oz of expressed milk and 3oz of formula - all at different times and nothing satisfies him for long. I'm assuming it's a growth spurt but it's driving me crazy. I need sleep! So worried I'm going to fall asleep holding him and drop him or something if I don't get some sleep.

Answer

Just took a breast feeding class. Cluster feeding is normal in the first 2-4 weeks. Your baby is learning how to breast feed. Just as long as your baby is eating at least 8 times a day.
