Cluster feeding and growth spurts

Normally breastfed babies feed every 2-3 hours, but cluster feedings can be spaced as close together as every 30 minutes! They can happen at any time during the day or night, but normally happen in the evening. Babies who cluster feed can nurse for 2-3 hours at a time, and are typically irritable and needy during cluster feeding periods.

Low milk supply

Perception of low milk supply is a common problem when parents misinterpret normal new-born behaviour (such as cluster feeding, growth spurts and frequent feeding in a new-born) or misunderstand how breastfeeding works (not appreciating that breasts may come to feel softer as weeks go by, a baby’s swallowing pattern may change as the fat content of breastmilk milk rises or that response to a breast pump is not a measurement of milk supply).
