I'm 5 days pp and I'm currently breastfeeding but I noticed my lo will only eat for 5 minutes and then goes back to sleep. She's then up again 15-20 minutes later wanting to eat again. Most of this happens during the night but what can I do? I try changing her diaper, take her clothes off, play with her feet and hands but nothing is working. I'm worried she's not eating enough.
@aiellomorgan Every baby is different but I was told about cluster feeding and told not to worry about it. everyone I know babies went through it. Don't feel bad.! you're doing everything you can. If it helps to put your mind at ease talk to a lactation consultant or do some research online about cluster feeding from reliable sources of course.
Yeah my daughter is 3 weeks old and she cluster feeds in the early morning. Hoping it will pass
Is that pretty normal @reyesmomma? It makes me feel bad lol.
it's cluster feeding. it will pass with time. you're doing good.!
My baby girl does not let me do anything all day 😭 I'm lucky if everything is done before my s.o gets home , she cried so I pick her up to feed her and change her diaper and once she's on my breast she eats and I burp her put her down and she'll cry I get her again and she's on my breast not even latched on just smelling my boobs 😭 I'm like girl really lmao she wants me to carry her or be with her all day , girl I wish I could lmao
Science!
My friend posted this on facebook last night and said her kids were asleep within minutes. It's a song that scientists created to help people fall asleep. I was skeptical but I thought what the hay, I'll try it out. I didn't bank on Dh falling asleep, but both him and lo were asleep by minute 2. And lo slept six straight hours. ?
omg... I'm so depressed my child cries more than she doesnt..The only time she's not crying is when she's alsleep.. but she only sleeps 30 minutes each time. she won't sit in her carseat, her crib, pack n play , her swing, bouncer nothing!!! I have to hold ger 24/7 even when she's sleeping or else she will wake up. I'm tired I don't get any sleep nothing soothes her I don't even remember the last time I had enough time to bathe :'( I love her so much but this is so challenging
I can't take it anymore! Haley (yes my 1mth old and no I wasn't able to go through this "joy" of nursing my older daughter, Molly) has been screaming non stop for 6hrs! All she wants to do is eat and I can't have her attached to me all day, everyday! She has wanted to eat every hr on the hr for the past 3hrs! I put her in her room so I don't scream at her but I just can't take it!
This is my first time breastfeeding and there's so much to it! I definitely enjoy it more then bottle but it's definitely worth it. I was just a little concerned. Thank you @reyesmomma.
