Cluster feed and low appetite

Smom901316

I know there have been a bunch of cluster feeding posts lately but I do have a question. DD has cluster fed all day and now her normal night time feedings seem less frequent . Am I just a nervous FTM and should I be thankful that she is sleeping in 3.5 hour stretches this evening? Is this "normal" in anyone else's experience ?

Edit: less frequent meaning she is not eating at her normal intervals. She is 10 days old

Yup. Normal!

I am very jealous right now, though.

We have had three days of cluster feedings. I wish that on no one. Good luck mama!

Yes if dd cluster feeds late afternoon to early evening she will go longer stretches at night. It's awesome

My baby cluster feeds in the evening and has been sleeping at least 4 hour stretches at night. Last night he slept 6 hours. I'm happy to feed him every hour or more if it means more sleep.

Jealous of all of you getting those long stretches! Dd cluster feeds but she still only sleeps a max of 2.5 hours. Sigh.

That is usually why they cluster feed, so they sleep longer at night.

My LO cluster fed all day yesterday, then slept for 6 hours last night. I felt bad about it this morning, but then again, if she had been hungry, she would have woken herself and I up.

My LO is cluster feeding during the day. I figure he's getting enough in the day that he doesn't need to wake up as frequently at night. So despite feeling like I might as well just hang out topless all day to serve him, I'm enjoying the extra nighttime rest!
