5 Tips for CLUSTER FEEDING | What to Know When BREASTFEEDING A NEWBORN

[@chloecooper6721]

Anyone else sitting watching this while your baby feeds constantly at night..?

[@ld8483]

Yes , my baby is six weeks, cluster fed for weeks now ! From about early afternoon feeding then naps on me then into 5to like 4 in morning! Intermittent sleeping but on me and as soon as I put down, wide awake and on breast. Then my husband gives my expressed milk ,then he cries for me and goes on breast for about 20 30 mins then falls asleep. My husband takes him to let me rest and he then sleeps about 3 to 4 hours!! Then in morning till lunchtime he generally will feed lightly and efficiently then doze off and I can often lay down or husband take in sling .he's working from home thank goodness!! I'm at wits end !!! I feel terrible on my husband and on baby like I'm letting him down as I can't get him to sleep in cot and am wracked with worry off Sid's whilst he's in my arms scared I'd fall asleep. A lot of advice on cluster says it on only lasts few days each go and just evening hours like 6 till 10 or 12 not all flipping afternoon and evening and wee hours !!!!!!!!! I personally think because they are on front breastfeeding it's harder to get them to lie on back in crib as it's alien to them . I don't have any family to help out and my husband is great but we are both really struggling.

[@elena-luizasoliman4652]

Yup

[@dhanashreelahane7964]

Me too

[@elena-luizasoliman4652]

Now I just figure out something. The thing is we don’t have milk enough that’s why they stay like this continuously breast-feeding. Because I breasts, I start pumping, and I’m controlling now the flow of the milk and the amount he’s drinking and if he’s full, he will not want to eat all the time. And before before sleep, he didn’t fall asleep because he was not full so he wants to continuously breast-feed know if I give him a bottle with my breast milk around 180 mL for seven weeks old baby he’s OK he will fall asleep by himself.

[@nagarapusudheeksha5750]

​Food to increase breast milk please

[@Rigtpc]

Oh my baby is 3 weeks old and cluster feeding ALL DAY AND NIGHT was driving me insane. I was just about to give her formula, but trying to remember this is the best for her! Good luck mamas!

[@gabystringer2056]

Just take it one day at a time. It may help if you write down on your phone what your breastfeeding goals are and why, and explain to your partner (if you have one) why it's important to you (so they don't suggest formula at 430 am when you're at the end of yourself. It does get easier when they start sleeping longer stretches as you cna get a bit more sleep xx

[@ireneplusbrenda]

I'm in precisely the same boat at 3 weeks! So glad to hear its normal.

[@karaodaly3963]

Yep. Me too! Nightmare

[@jam9859]

Fed is best. Dont shame formula

[@hannahleemencher7904]

[@ap-wd2rf]

Wow I needed this video. I gave birth 3 days ago and have been so worried and confused as to why my baby has been wanting the boob nonstop especially at night (every half hour) when everything seems normal. Immediately started crying hearing you explain it and having it sound like exactly what I’m going through. It just gave me the push I needed to keep going

[@Crumpetsandteawithtimeless]

This needs to be more talked about because my mother in law thought the baby wasn’t getting enough milk. She made me give him one bottle of formula 😭😭😭 I was so sad for several days because I only want to nurse. I don’t know if it’s the Latina culture that wants me to give him formula so I can get up and clean but I felt like she made it seem as though it was bad for my baby to want my breast. Thank you for talking about this. I don’t understand why it’s seen as a negative thing when the baby is attached to the breast or to momma.

[@peachfountain]

Knowledge is power! My MIL was a nurse back in her heyday and has controlling tendencies. I hope by watching vids like this and staying in contact with my healthcare team i can stand up to pressure like you got from your fam! You're doing great, good luck to you and your beautiful babe! 🥰

[@heidiflores591]

Living in the Latino culture I run into allot of different pressures. Now having just had baby number 3 I think most people around me have seen that I have stuck with what I know and my daughters are strong and healthy and as far as breastfeeding I’ve done it without any real issues for longer than anyone else I know. For some reason all the Latina women I know have had major issues breastfeeding and only make it a few months. Maybe due to beliefs such as this one, of giving them formula instead of letting the body catch up with supply according to the signals that baby is trying to send to mamas body. I still get allot of women shaking their heads and scolding me ,,, but I just smile and shrug it off because the results speak for themselves. Now if only I can convince them that I don’t need to have my ears covered up every time I step out the door for the first 40 days that would be great 😂

[@CherryBerryFashion]

No one can make you do anything, this is your baby. You can always become strong and not let the mother in law push you around. Sorry for sounding harsh but I just feel like this should be said. Perhaps it will become a motivation to start setting boundaries because if not people will be walking all over you and your baby.

[@yahgonz31217]

As a Latina myself yes it’s culture thing to also overfeed, sorry you MIL is ignorant a bit keep your own intuition priority even over doctors and pray to God our creator always knows the perfect way so when we feel his way is best we can ignore others comments and keep doing what is told by our creator and trust ourselves more. You held this baby not your mom or MIL or aunt you did so you will always know what’s best above all even “experts” cause this baby was given to you no one else.

[@elena-luizasoliman4652]

Mothers in law are a completly disaster 😊

This was my little one last night. I had no energy to look anything up, I was extremely overwhelmed! But glad I found this video and see how so many other mamas have experienced this

[@shaneherrick727]

As a two day old proud father I needed to say thank you and I love you you've helped us so much through this we greatly appreciate all the light you shine on this world!

[@ccliberty4792]

I needed to see this, my little man is one week old and he started doing this a few days ago. I felt like I was losing it, I started crying because of all the things you just explained. I was so and is still doubting myself, I even went as far a getting a formula just in case he needs it. Pumping is like my main goal right now so I can feel at ease knowing he is full and even so I worry about milk production. Thanks for talking about this because there is mom like myself out here having crazy emotional breakdown over this.

[@hannahleemencher7904]

Same! I feel so bad when I am crying as he’s nursing! It happens occasionally when he wants to nurse all day and night and I just lose it like I can’t do this anymore. I never want him to see me like this! So validating that other moms experience this. 4 weeks old.

[@mairinja15]

Yes, many mammas doesnt know that this is normal. Thank you!

[@thereset1735]

Maybe thats why many mothers stops to breastfeeding. Bec they think that their milk is not enough for hungry baby 😄🥰 Its just normal. The more you breastfeed the more milk you produce.

[@MichelleTM-en1ni]

I wish I knew ahead of time to expect cluster feeding on Day 3, 4, 5 etc. I had no idea and being exhausted and in so much pain Postpartum, That first week was beyond overwhelming. Thank you for making these videos. You are wonderful, amazingly positive, and I appreciate all of your information. 👶😊

[@CourtneyBerry]

I'm a first time mom and was so worried when my baby started cluster feeding. There isn't much education on this and it confused and worried me at first until I did some research on it realizing my baby is just having a growth spurt! Its exhausting and lots of tears have been shed, but I just always smile and look at my beautiful daughter and say, "Mommy is okay babygirl, I'm just tired and doing my best to take care of you. I love you so much sweet girl." She smiles everytime and then everything is okay. Your video was also very helpful! And it's reassuring reading all the comments knowing I'm not alone!

This was so great!! Currently cluster feeding an 8 day old baby lol and needed this video at 2am!

[@mshairdesign1800]

Day 8 today, I feel you mama.

[@gabrielhannah8552]

My firstborn is 2weeks old and this cluster feeding thing is legit! I had such a hard time my first week that I wanted to give up, but a cheap little manual breast pump saved me! Now he is doing so much better...except for these cluster feedings and irregular sleep times. This was super helpful as you confirmed what another momma told me-they are often going through a growth spurt or just need Momma during this crucial stage of their growth! Thanks so much for affirming and encouraging us as mothers. God bless!

[@teachersparker]

How did the manual pump help?

[@alexandracoquet7225]

Definitely needed this video, my 5 day old is cluster feeding and I was getting very anxious and frustrated. As well as guilty for having such feelings. Thanks for all you do!

My 9 day old daughter has been cluster feeding every half an hour all night long for several nights! I did not experience this with my son so I was very curious about it. Thank you so much for this video! God bless!💜 Let's stay encouraged mamas!

[@jennifert7213]

Currently at week 7 and still getting some mornings or evenings of cluster feeds. I really needed this, as the lactation consultant I went to told me that if he's cluster feeding then it means he's not getting enough... which has just made me more stressed out (as I'm already doing this whole breastfeeding, followed by bottle, followed by pumping routine). Just hearing that this is a normal thing -- and it helps milk supply -- is immensely helpful.

[@Cyrae2011]

I hate that people give wrong info to people about this. I have 3 kids and my youngest is 6 weeks and is still cluster feeding. If your baby is gaining weight and going through regular diapers they are getting enough milk. At 6 weeks my little girl is 11 lbs in 3 months clothes so yes she definitely is getting more than enough milk… I haven’t even started pumping yet. Babies cluster feed for all the reasons provided in this video. It is difficult but it doesn’t last forever and is a beautiful way to bond with your baby.

[@albecerra5346]

Going through this now with my 2 day old Mommy really needed to hear this information because she was getting discouraged about constantly feeding her and if she’s getting enough milk

[@MariaPetete]

This video could not have come at a better time. Yesterday was exhausting because of his cluster feeding. Thank you Bridget!

[@sarahrigby1341]

What perfect timing! My little one (8 weeks) has been cluster feeding every evening this last week! I was really concerned until I realized he is now sleeping for a 4 stretch during the night!

[@belindasheekey]

Thank you for this video Bridget! I have a six-day old and was quite literally up during the night wondering if this increased rate of feeding was normal, and then I saw your video and felt instant reassurance and relief! Thank you!!

Thanks for the encouragement. My baby started cluster feeding around 4 weeks. He is almost 6 weeks now and still cluster feeding.

I had no idea what cluster feeding was and thought my baby wasnt getting enouh milk. Although it can be frustrating, having an understanding of whats going on makes me feel much better. Thanks

[@samantharaulin]

Thank you. It’s hard to go on so little sleep for so many days, and not be able to keep up with anything because I’m always feeding. Someone I thought I could count on called me lazy for not being able to figure out how to get stuff done anyway, and it really just destroyed me.

[@natesgeeklounge]

Ay dude thank you so much. We’re both new to this and was dealing with this problem tonight. She was in tears thinking something was wrong. You calmed her down. Thank you.

[@janavilla6687]

I needed to come read these comments to help myself know I’m not alone. My baby just turned a month yesterday but my hubby is getting sent to Germany in two days and we just moved houses. I was feeling stressed out that the cluster feeding started as I was already feeling scared that I wouldn’t be able to keep myself strong thru this time while trying to keep breastfeeding. Physically and mentally these days have been so tiring but I’m happy to read that baby will come along and this will pass. Wishing all mommas the best of luck with their babies, sending you all love, strength and patience. 💗

[@sepidehstarabadi934]

Bridget you are the best and thank you for everything you do. I’ve been following you since my third trimester and was watching your videos over and over again during my labor and delivery. Now my baby is here and yesterday I was struggling with cluster feeding and losing my hopes. But like always you came to the rescue with this perfect topic. Cannot thank you enough😃

[@MrShivBoom]

Hi Bridget, I just wanted to say thank you so much. I used your de stressor breath during labour and it helped me so much. I got the epidural but leading up to that was rough and your breathing technique, TENS machine along with gas n air was so good. I'm still using it during this cluster feeding stressful stage. Thanks again ❤❤❤

[@deedoodles465]

My baby is almost 2 weeks old. And I have also noticed that he sleeps far better when he sleeps in my lap after feeding. Although it gets tiring , I try my best. I'm a first time mom and small things can get very overwhelming.

[@mamamiavlogs775]

Exactly what I was going through this time. I feel like my baby is not getting full with my milk day and night. And I am also getting stiff neck due to breastfeeding for hours. 😭 But I am also happy that my baby is getting plenty of milk from me and I can also see how he grows and gain weight as well as a result of cluster feeding. Thank you so much for always giving us a lot of information!. 😍😘

[@SarahAnn1015]

@@afiyatasnova709 He spat up a fair amount daily. i feel like the bigger he is getting it's becoming less frequent. couple things that helped were burping when switching breasts, keeping baby elevated for 10-15 minutes after eating, and really watching to see if he was swallowing and truly eating or just sucking for comfort. sometimes i can put the pacifier in his mouth and he's fine because he just wants that soothing thing and not more milk.

[@SirenUniverse381]

Good evening. I have watched your channel and it is awesome. It helped me a lot in feeling confident about being a new mom. I have two questions: - how much time is the limit for a newborn to be in a carrier? That is the only time he sleeps during the day because he sleeps like 5 min after every nursing. - we're in a vicious cycle: I feed him, burp him, let him digest, put him in his bed, he sleeps for 5 min and awakens.... Then the cycle repeats, with occasional diaper change. We tried prolonging/shortening the feeding/changing the bed/putting him in a dark room after a bath and last day feeding, nothing works. We're beyond exhausted and so is he, he gets fussy, fidgety when nursing, crying all the time, tourna his head only to the left, has digestive issues and looks like he's constipated while trying to soil the diapers. He managed abundantly to eat and use the diaper but my husband and I are beyond exhausted and the little one is only with us for a month. Help us, please.🙏🙏🙏

[@jennifert7213]

I really wish someone would've told me to expect cluster feeding days 3, 4, & 5. I probably would've turned down the recommendation to give him formula and just pushed through. I might not have wound up engorged with clogged ducts and in unbearable pain (which led me to need to get a hospital grade pump to fix the problem) because of the decision to give formula on Day 3. Sigh, hindsight is 10/10.
