Breastfeeding mama’s; do you feel like your baby is eating constantly ??

Question

breastfeeding mama’s; do you feel like your baby is eating constantly ??" /> 
Baby is 2 days old and I feel like she won’t even give me 5 minutes to eat or pee 😩 I love her and it’s all worth it but I’m wondering if my baby is the only one eating so often and ps. Yes my milk came in last night so I know she’s getting milk not just colostrum anymore!

Answer

Yes, day 2 is known for cluster feeding because it's how babies bring in your milk supply.
Today is day 3 for us so we're going through the same! Right now all he does is eat and sleep. 
If baby is constantly attached, it's likely there's also comfort sucking going on (using your breast as a pacifier). You should be able to feel the difference between actual nursing (strong tugs, baby is more active, swallowing sounds) and comfort sucking (more gentle sucking, usually baby is drifting of or fallen asleep, no sucking for a period then several light sucks). For comfort sucking, you can let them use your finger or a pacifier although some people recommend against using a pacifier.

Answer

That sound like cluster feeding! It happens to bring your milk in faster. Baby can eat up to every thirty minutes it’s completely normal! As long as they’re setting diapers you’re fine! Good luck in your breastfeeding journey it’s hard!

Answer

It'll be like this for a bit. Their stomach is the size of a cherry. As she gets older she will take more in and be satisfied longer unless she decides it's time to cluster feed.
Hang in there momma ❤️
