Cluster feeding in morning?

My dd2 is 14 days old and I'm just getting the hang of bf ing. She seems to cluster feed all morning from about 7 an until lunchtime, then calm down through the afternoon. I thought cluster feeding was more usual in the evening. Has anyone else found this and do you think it is just an early pattern which will change? If it doesn't I don't know how I will ever leave the house!

I find that the first 2 feeds of the day (5ish and 8ish) are much longer (over an hour) than the rest of the day (40-45mins). I don't think that's quite cluster feeding, but I do think she likes a good big breakfast after the longer stretches of sleep in the night. (she is a bit older than yours though - 8 weeks)

Mine cluster fed in the morning (btw about 9 and noon) and then in evening too (5ish til 9is). The morning thing was only in early weeks.

Mine cluster fed in both morning and evening, and now at 6 months it's totally calmed down, but the first and last feeds are normally the longest still (although no where near as long, but honestly, at 14 days I never though that would be the case, it felt never ending, but it does end!)
