Cluster feeding: Everything you need to know

Cluster feeding: Everything you need to know

Cluster feeding happens when a baby suddenly starts eating a lot more often, or in clusters, for some time. It normally lasts a few hours at a time and will be different from your baby's usual feeding habits.

Cluster feeding is a normal behavior in babies. It is most common in breastfeeding newborns within the first few weeks. It does not necessarily imply that there is a problem with your milk supply or your baby.

By the time your little one comes, you’ll probably have prepared mentally for all the nighttime feedings you’ll have to endure. After all, sleep deprivation is a normal part of being a new mom. What may surprise you is the sheer fatigue that comes with infant cluster feeding. It's one of those new parenting things you won't get until you go through it. The good news is that it is completely normal and, luckily, won’t last forever.

That said, knowing what to expect might help you manage the situation better instead of panicking when the feeding frenzy starts. That’s why we decided to create this detailed guide to cluster feeding, featuring everything you need to know about it as well as how to cluster feed and prepare for it.

When should I stop breastfeeding

When should I stop breastfeeding

Deciding how long you want to breastfeed your child is one of those deeply personal decisions that you can only make yourself. Every mom is different, and you alone know what is best for your little angel. That’s why it shouldn’t come as a surprise that the decision about when to stop breastfeeding might even vary from one child to another.

Some women just know exactly how long they want to breastfeed and when to stop. If you fall into this category, that’s great! More power to you. However, for many women, the decision is not as simple and straightforward as it could be.

Many things may come into play, including your own feelings, your child's needs and feelings, and the opinions of others (which may or may not be welcomed!)
