What is cluster feeding ?

Question

...

Answer

The most exhausting part of breastfeeding😩😴😩😴 The baby is constantly feeding to build up the milk supply. As much as it is difficult, they are doing what needs to be done. My lo is 3 1/2 weeks old and cluster feeds every few nights from about 5pm-10pm. Her first week and a half it was every night. I didn't know what she was doing, so I would give her a ounce of formula at night to satisfy her...oops😮 We did that a few times until I started doing research and discovered I need to not do that. I will pass her off to her dad sometimes so she settles. When she smells me she goes wild to nurse.

Answer

When baby wants to feed almost immediately after finishing one feed & can go on & on & on. My baby tends to do it from 8pm-12am. It’s exhausting but totally normal.

Answer

When baby eats often, like every hour. Sometimes for shorter sessions than usual. Happens during growth spurts.
