Mum question: I have an 7 week old bub who has had severe wind issues since 2 weeks ebf and I have veey little dairy (1 cup tea with a2 milk daily) I seem to have an oversupply of milk amd she gains weight well (500 last week, 2.2 kg since birth) she is eat 2 hourly in day and do a 4 2 2 at night. She has started cluster feeding at night from 4 to 9 or 10. I thought cluster feeding was meant to boost supply which I know I dont need. Could there be another reason? Yesterday she had 2 4 hour cluster sessions and its completely exhausting Oh and she gets hiccups all the time and they seem to really bother her Pinky says: your baby may be having a growth spurt. Cluster feeding is perfectly normal at this age. Its as though babies are tanking up and they usually have a good sleep when they finally crash. You mention hiccups - this can be a symptom of reflux and feeding oonstantly will be comforting because the milk is a natural antacid/ Here is a blog with some strategies to help you through this tough patch beautifulbreastfeeding/when-breastfeeding-becomes-cluster-feeding-what-does-this-mean/
