Cluster feeding

Published: December 30th 2020, 8:21:44 pm

 I snapped this photo during one of my sons cluster feeding sessions. Cluster feeding is when the baby wants to breastfeed all the time. This can happen because the baby is in a growth spurt and needs to up the supply of breast milk. It can also happen if the baby is teething or just needing more comfort.

Don't worry if you are breastfeeding and your baby wants to constantly breastfeed. It will pass in time and the best thing you can do is offer the breast. 

Breast feeding is hard work and can take some time to get used to. If you have the chance to support a breastfeeding mom please do. Ways you can support her are with encouraging words of appreciation. A massage, a gift just to let her know you appreciate her effort to provide the baby with the best milk possible.
