Yes, responded to baby’s needs.

Yep, my lo was doing cluster feed till she was 4m, then slowly started to have more shorter regular feed..

Every baby cluster feeds at some point. It’s developmental. There isn’t much to do but let them suck. If you are breastfeeding, you want to let them do so. It helps your supply keep up with their demand. If you are formula feeding, it probably makes more sense to let them use a pacifier.

I held on tight and just survived the ride. Those were some of the toughest stretches of time freshly postpartum! But it is rewarding knowing I was being there for my baby in a way no one else could.

My baby cluster feeds at night. I just respond to her needs, otherwise she will only cry and I don’t let her cry

Yes, it’s very common especially around a growth spurt. I breastfeed so I just responded to her cues and offer the breast every time she seemed hungry. If I was bottle feeding I would say offer an additional half ounce or 1 ounce
