Hey y’all.

My LO is 7 weeks. we’ve had a long road but we’re finally getting into the swing of things! Over the past week or so she has been cluster feeding for about an hour and half... every. Single. Night. Well start with boob A and she’ll be on there for 45 min if not more.. unlatch and burp.. then start sucking her hand (i can see in her eyes she’s tired) so of course i always offer boob B. She latches there goes another 45-60 min. Unlatch and again chews on hand! I try and rock, swing and bounce her but she isn’t having it.. I’ll latch again. Through all this time she may get lazy but if a letdown comes it doesn’t even phase her! I try and unlatch her to see if she’s sleeping but she’s got a good latch so i leave her. She did this for nap time earlier for not as long but deff a good hour if not a little more. She does become very irritable when she’s done and I’m assuming she’s just over tired but I’m trying to get an idea of what i can/should be doing.. thanks y’all
