Constantly hungry!

LG is 3 weeks old (4 weeks on Sunday) and she is constantly wanting/needing the boob! We are combination feeding and she is having every other feed during the day as formula and will polish off 5-6oz easy but still want boob an hour later! Also is awake for 2-3 hours during the day between feeds. Anyone else finding this? She is completely different to how my LB was who would be in a milk coma after 3/4 oz at this age

It’s probably the cluster feeding. My LG is 3 weeks today and we do combi feeding as well Buh only at night, while we do breast milk during the day. I remember the midwife told me something about cluster feeding.

My 3 week old is also the same, I find if he stays awake longer he wants to feed more maybe because he’s burning more energy and need the extra calories??
