It's normal for a 6 day old newborn to be nursing what seems like nonstop all day for the time being…

yes. basically the first 6 weeks that's all they want to do.

It's normal. they cluster feed when they're growing.

Yes its called a growth spurt, they have a few of those. I suggest getting a nipple guard because it starts to hurt really bad.

Thanks y'all! Always such a relief to hear reassurance from y'all! @apb122393 @hannahk0624 @gypsy.soul2

sometimes nipple guards can cause nipple confusion so tread carefully with that. I know it hurts but you will get through it I promise! get nipple cream and sleep on a towel for a night and let them breathe! :). And you're welcome :).

I've actually been really lucky my son latches really well and I haven't had any issues at all with my nipples being sore *knock on wood*

@hannahk0624,

That's good! I didn't have an issue until I started pumping. that's when my nipples started cracking.
