Baby boy was born on Sunday. Milk came in late last night and he is cluster feeding constantly. I can't get him put in his cot to settle as he is constantly asking to be fed. Is this normal or is he feeding too much?

Completely normal, hang in there! X

It's normal. The first two weeks are really tough, but it is only getting better. My LO first started to improve to 2-3h naps during the day (take advantage of those to sleep as well), night takes a bit longer to settle but it does eventually improve. You can do it ! 🫶🏼

My baby was born on Thursday last week and she is exactly the same. Last night was rough with her wanting to be fed every 20 mins or so and no amount of feeding settled her. I ended up just spending the night sobbing not knowing what to do but from what I’ve read it’s normal. I’m combination feeding with formula and also got a breast pump today so my partner can give her some milk and I can sleep as it is so intense and the sleep deprivation is driving me crazy. 😭

My boy was born 2 weeks ago and he’s cluster fed all week. He’s bottle fed but omg he’s never off the bottle, I’m hoping and praying it gets easier cause I’m running on fumes and it’s hard

My boy is 12 days old and the same, up every hour mostly at night. Lucky to get couple hrs sleep a days. Would not recommend but ended up co sleeping last night (following guidelines) as was falling asleep in chair while feeding him. Concerned now have made a problem and he won’t sleep in Moses basket.
Keep going ladies, will get better. Does mean they maybe having a growth spurt!

In the same boat. Little man is now 6 days old and my god the cluster feeding is relentless.
I’m EFF and am just cleaning bottles non stop
