EBF baby’s belly too full??

Question

My LO is 6 weeks old and is EBF. I’m concerned because she feeds so much at one time(cluster) that her belly is so full and I’m worried that I’m stretching her stomach and making her even more uncomfortable but the only thing that gets her to calm down is nursing? Am I worried for nothing or should I be concerned about how much I’m nursing?

Answer

ebf babies cant over eat. make sure she's burped and doesnt have air in her belly and shes fine. my babys belly always looked bigger right after he ate. cluater feeding is normal and a good thing for them and you

Answer

I think it's fine. My daughter wouldn't get off the boob to save my life at that stage. Her belly was always full to the brim. They grow so much though when they're so tiny, plus half the time they comfort nurse and aren't actually taking in much milk. Baby will slow down soon. Try to get enough to eat. That was my biggest struggle.
