baby wants to eat every 10 minutes!?!

Question

today gas been rough..my baby is a week and 5 days old and today she's been wanting to be nursing all day long. she doesn't stop crying unless she's on my boob..is there something wrong? what should I do

Answer

Cluster feeding is normal for her age. Just keep giving her the boob! ❤️ it’ll pass soon

Answer

it's normal mama. baby is regulating your supply. I recommend joining a milky mama's group on Facebook for support!!

Answer

totally normal though exhausting. right now the world is big and scary and you are her food source, and her comfort. she's cluster feeding and probably comfort nursing too. if you feel like she's eating well you can try a pacifier though some say it can cause nipple confusion but it can also give you a break. my daughter took a while to take one but likes the Mam ones over the hospital brand.

Answer

It is extremely tiring but very worth it!  Cluster feeding helps regulate your milk production.  It does not mean she isn’t getting enough so please don’t let that worry you.  When my son was born I literally walked around in a sports bra and as exhausted as I was I am glad I stuck through it.  1 year and going strong so far.
