Cluster feeding?

So last night my 4 week old started taking so much milk, she’s on 5oz, but started wanting more an hour later and did the same through the night! Just constantly kept wanting more, I hardly had any sleep! Tonight she’s started the same just wanting more and more but not slowing or showing signs she’s full! And started spitting up larger amount but still looking for more milk! What shall I do? Keep feeding? At this rate she’s taken 8oz in 3/4 hours and isn’t slowing 🤔🤔

That sounds really exhausting! It’s tough when they seem to want more and more. You're doing great! 🤗

I would say to just be careful! This happened to me a few weeks ago and then she projectile vomited an insane amount everywhere! Was very scary.

@Natalie this happen a few weeks ago to us also! But what do you do when your baby is crying for more milk it’s so sad :( x

@Rebecca Pearson Thankyou! Xx

Me and the hubby opted for complete distraction trying to hold out as long as we could before giving more. Walking around, singing etc etc. Was hard but we didn't want to see her throw up like that again. Worked for us 😊

We resorted to introducing a pacifier/dummy. Only for night feeds as she also has reflux. It has helped us not overfeed. But introducing a pacifier isn't everyone's wish. We had tried extending the time between feeds but she would scream bloody murder x
