Cluster feeding in the heat.

[Arthie20]

Just after some advice. I have a two week old who seems to be feeding every 10 minutes in the evening in this heat. Is this normal? He is only have 10ml a time sometimes not even that. I express everything into a bottle as he does not latch on. Has anyone else experienced this before? I’m worrying he is over eating. Thanks

Gosh that’s a lot of work for you , well done.
Yes cluster feeding is completely normal, baby will
probably want to camp out there to keep him hydrated .
Is there someone there to make sure you’re ok?

A breastfed baby can’t be over fed, make sure you are pace feeding him the bottle.

Yes, totally normal. Breast milk changes in the heat to being more watery and babies are more likely to take a little bit as they want a little drink.just like we do when we're thirsty. It's so clever. A good website is kelly mom if you're interested in reading more about breast feeding things.

I can't comment on expressing in it though. Are you going to continue, or try again to see if the latch improves? There's loads of support around if you wanted to work on the latch. Hats off to you for expressing and feeding 🤗
