Is my baby broken???

Question

My baby is 4 weeks old tomorrow and for the past week he’s been waking up at 8pm and he’s literally stuck till my boob till 2/3am. Am I doing something wrong? Or is this normal? I’m so sore, I’m using nipple cream but he’s on that long that I’m just constantly sore throughout the night

Answer

Normal it’s cluster feeding. He’s just working on building supply. Of course if you’re really worried call the doc but it’s most likely cluster feeding.

Answer

Your in that growth spurt and leap... It's torture... But it does end momma... I just came out the other side of it with my daughter... And I'm slightly cheating I use nipple shields... I know... I know... But I feel like since we started on them and I tried so hard to do it without... But my nipples hurt so bad... And I felt like I was gonna quit....

Answer

Yes it’s normal. It’s why I learned to sleep while nursing side-lying.

Answer

Cluster feeding for sure. Can you pump some during the day and have someone help feed at night? It will help your breasts get some rest!
