When does cluster feeding stop?

DD is 14 weeks now and still feeds almost constantly from 6 ish to 9 ish. I have a toddler too; bedtimes are mighty hard. Can't remember when DD1 slowed down on the cluster feeding... what did other mn babies do?

DD used to eat in every 10-15min (in the evenings around 5pm-9pm and sometimes in the mornings as well). But it was to do with my very fast let-down, after I managed to get this under control (thanks to help from mumsnetters and tiktok), it got little bit better. Still clusterfed in the evenings until DD was 9 weeks, now 11 weeks and things are much easier

My dd used to cluster-feed between 6 and about 10 - but it meant she slept through until 8. Whenever anyone persuaded me to put her to bed at 7, she was always awake for a couple of hours at 2am, and the cluster-feeding was the lesser of the two evils. I guess she was about 6 months when the cluster-feeding stopped ... which may not be what you want to hear!

eased off a bit with dd at about 3/4 months (up til that she fed constantly all day and night but she didn't really settle into a routine til about 6 months when three solid meals a day were introduced

DS was over 4 months. Not much over, TBH the time spent feeding got less so gradually I couldn't put a finger on the exact time. It was tough - it must be unbelievable with a toddler as well. My deepest sympathies.
