I'm a ftm and starting to get quite overwhelmed by the whole breastfeeding process. I'm on week 3 and my son is cluster feeding loads from early evening till late night lasting 3-4 hours. Sometimes when i
put him down, he wakes in an hour to feed. Sometimes I get a 2 hour break from him between feeds. It's like a roller coaster ride. I get kind of discouraged when he gets hungry within an hour and it's as if my bm is not enough. I have supplemented a few oz a day usually before bedtime. Have managed tto cut down fm from 6 to 3 oz.
For a 3 week old, how long does cluster feeding behavior lasts? When will feeding ppattern become more established? Been reading that many babies are sleeping 2-3 hours constantly n I'm wondering if things will get better for me? really want to be ebm soon......sigh
