That's good to know! This is my second baby, but my first I formula fed so I never really experienced the whole cluster feeding. They sometimes go longer after a long feed, but most often they're hungry again 2 to 2.5hrs later 😭
This is really normal. I breasfed by first kid and doing it again. It does get quicker but not just yet. How long they sleep at night also depends of each kid. Mu first bron was sleeping as much as bottle fed babies (so I don't believe the whole bottle fed babies sleep more) hoping this one is the same. The thrashing and pulling and being fuzzy helps with milk production and stimulation (although it is annoying) Also, think that sometimes they ask for the boob even if that's not what they need. Mine does this too wheb he is overtired. So we need to bounce around the room, he may cry really loud for like 2 mins and then calms down.
My little one does this (7 weeks this sunday coming) feeds every 2-3 hours for about 20-30 minutes but has a period of time usually between 4/5pm and 8/9pm where hes constantly on and off and feeds non stop. I was wondering myself if this was normal as i formula fed my first born so new to breastfeeding, ive given up trying to eat food without him attached to me in the evenings now x
Totallly normal I think… frustrating I know. My little little boys (4weeks) in the same, evenings are a bit of a write off. My daughter (now 3) was the same and I promise it gets better. Will your lo go longer after cluster feeding?
