Cluster feeding or just comfort?
My little girl is 2 weeks old today and has just managed to latch on to me without having to use nipple shields. She has a bottle every 3 hours with express milk, but now wants to feed on me every hour inbetween. Is this normal?

How exciting that she’s taking to you without nipple shield! I use a shield for about 1.5-2 weeks then one day she latched and never went back! I’d say that sounds like you diddy baby is just trying to cluster feed! x

Very normal. Just keep offering it whenever she wants it. Breastfeeding isnt soley about getting a big feed each time. Its comfort, a snack, a thirst quencher, pain reliever.

Very normal- it's cluster feeding as in your title. Babies go through phases of doing it!

Just listen/look for whether baby is swallowing reasonably frequently and you’ll be able to see if she’s feeding still :)
