Cluster feeding
« on: February 10, 2014, 19:44:48 pm »
When should I stop cluster feeding my 10 weeks baby in the evening? He doesn't do dream feeding as is asleep and won't suck but he wakes up every 3 hrs at night now.

What times is he feeding on the day? Can you post your EASY?

Tracy suggested stopping cluster feeding by this age but I know some people continue for longer if LO doesn't take a DF.

Looks really good! Fwiw we still have two feeds close together near bedtime and DD3 is almost 6 months old - we do 5:00 or so and 7:30 and since it works I will keep on with it!

Looks great. I'm sure you will get some longer stretches soon.
