Colic or hungry
Hello
My baby has been distressed late afternoon and evening last few days. He is inconsolable and goes red crying. We wind him after breast feeds and when he gets upset and he won’t settle. He will only settle on the breast. He can’t be hungry as he had 8 wet nappies today. He has also been breastfed 8 times for 20 mins or more. If he was in pain surely he wouldn’t take the breast. Is this colic or hunger?

Likely cluster feeding totally normal! We are couple days in now late afternoon early evening he want on the breast more frequently is really fussy when off sometimes fussy when on. Won’t be put down for very long x
Saying they can't be hungry because they have 8 20 minute feeds ignores that we should be feeding whenever they want, not to a schedule. Cluster feeding would be a lot more than that.
I’ve had something similar! 10days old and around day 8 baby was doing the same thing but she was guzzlingggg then bringing it up and just being uncomfortable! We decided to break the feeding up and do a small feed, wind, small feed, wind etc! Not sure if that will help but worth a try!🤷🏼♀️
