cluster feeding is going to kill me

Seriously.  My nipples hurt.  I'm not getting any sleep.  LO wants to start eating 15 minutes after I put him down from the last feeding.  Long stretches between are few and far between and at all the wrong times.  I'm not even sure he's getting full anymore.  I can't imagine I'm refilling at the rate he wants to eat

It gets better, right?

    I sure hope it gets better!  I was so sore last night, since she wanted to cluster feed from 8-1 (sleep, who needs it?:).  I want to stick with this, since it's good for her, but I'm on the verge of losing my mind!

    It's so hard, but just keep on nursing.  Learn to nurse laying down so you can doze off while your LO is eating.  Your supply will adjust, and then the crazy cluster feedings will stop.

    As a Mom who is still BF-ing at 7 months.  Push through it, keep it up.  It is SOOOOO worth it.

    Yes it gets better! Baby gets better at eating and my nipples haven't hurt since the beginning. She has been eating a lot the past 24 hours, but that for me means 10 mins once an hour or two. Good luck!

    I'm in the exact same boat right now!! My nipples are SO sensitive and I sometimes feel like I can't handle one more feeding. Hopefully it's just a growth spurt and they will slow down soon!
