Cluster feeding

Hi, just wondering how long does the cluster feeding stage last. My little one has just turned 2 weeks and has start cluster feeding and it’s emotionally and mentally draining me. It’s gotten to the point I’m very anxious at night time because I know I won’t get much sleep because I’ll be up every hour or so feeding 😩

We're still in it at 9 weeks but I know of others who escaped it much earlier x

@Stacey 9 weeks wow. Is that off and on for 9 weeks or has it been continuous

I think we've had a few days here or there where she's not but most nights she cluster feeds from around 6pm-2am (give or take 2 hours either end) 😩 We supplement with a bottle of formula at around 10pm to give me a break but she absolutely hates a bottle 🙃 During the day, she's usually great and sleeps loads - it's evening where our issues arise x

@Stacey oh my that sounds rough. It is hard going when you’re breastfeeding and do need to give the nipples a rest. Our issue is just before bedtime and during the night

That sounds exactly like us - she starts in the evening and I'm lucky to get to sleep before 2/3am but sometimes it's 4/5am before she finally settles 🙃

@Stacey yes snap other night couldn’t get to bed till 3am then she was up again at 4am
