How come you are NOT supposed to cluster feed after 8 weeks?
« on: September 01, 2005, 12:51:44 pm »
Hi,

My little guy is 17 weeks old and I am still cluster feeding...(breast and bottle).  I have no intention of stopping......he generally sleeps from 800-until 4-630am. 

I understand that the book recommends stopping at 8 weeks.  Does anyone know why?

Thanks in advance,

ML :)

I don't know why either!  I just stopped a couple of weeks ago and my DS is 5 months old!  If it ain't broke don't fix it!!!  He sleeps great!!  :D

I think after a certain point, most babies don't need the cluster feeds in the evening to be able to go longer at night.  When that point is, really really varies!  I know many moms who cluster feed for months - do what seems to work for your lo!
