cluster feed but still wakes!!!

[kirstym]

my DD is nearly 3 weeks old and is on a very good pattern of EASY every 3 hours in the day, not at the moment as i think we are having a growth spurt!! but at night when i cluster feed she is still waking for her DF and then evey 2.5 3 hours for her feeds

i know she is only liitle but how come tanking her up is making no difference  i am BF too

Perfectly normal for such a little bub to be waking do frequently I'm afraid. It will settle down soon enough but your milk supply is just establishing now too so all this feeding is setting your supply up for the future. Also at 3 weeks its not uncommon for a BF bub to need feeding as little as every 2 hours at that age, follow her cues. DD is 10 weeks now and still sometimes wants a feed after 2.5 hours.

(((((hugs)))))) These early weeks are tough but they pass so quickly. Enjoy all those newborn snuggles.

Yep - totally normal.  Doesn't make it any easier, but it is very, very normal.  (((hugs)))

These early cluster feeds though they dont mak a differance now, when she is able to go longer period at night your body will know you do the cluster feeds and produce milkfor them to hellp her go through

so though it might seem pointless because it doesnt work now but doing it now will help it work later on iykwim
