Babies: 0 - 3 Months

7 week old and cluster feeding

DD still cluster feeds frequently - mostly in the afternoons before our dinner time ... when does the cluster feeding end generally?

Re: 7 week old and cluster feeding

  • Never mind ... found the answer myself ... for those of you wondering

    Cluster feedings happen around growth spurts usually, common ages are:

    2 -3  weeks, 6 - 8 weeks, 3 months  ... They can last anywhere from 2 to 3 days up to 9 days ... 

    Be sure to eat more, drink more during them ... 

    Sleeping arrangements will return to normal after the growth spurt is finished.

  • Wow, thanks for the info!  DS is 7 weeks and we've been going through a big time growth spurt the last week.  He has been cluster feeding mainly in the evening and is eating every 1:45 minutes to 2 hours.  He used to be an every 3 hour eater!  Can't wait for feedings and sleep to get back to normal!

  • Yeah thanks for the post - DD turned 7 weeks yesterday and last night was my worst night since we came home from the hospital.  She at every hour to hour and a half.  Made for a rough night for me.  Luckily she has been really good today during the day!  :o)
