Is it normal to be feeding for 3 hours consistently?

[Hotmad]

My now 5 week old can b-feed for long hours mostly in the evening and has been doin so from the start.... At first I thought it was normal but now not so sure, she can't seem to settle in the evening, she only had 1 nap today!!

Yes it is usual Breastfeeding behaviour

Called cluster feeding

Yes, cluster feeding in evening is normal.

Is she happy when she is doing this, or is it taking so long because she's fussing/unhappy?
Mine never really cluster fed apart from for whole days at each growth spurt, so the only reason he took so long to feed (up to 2 hours every feed) was because he had TT and CMPA (not trying to put a downer on you, but if she's unhappy then it might not be just cluster feeding).

What is CMPA? Erm she has had a fussy episode every day it seems for last 3 weeks at least which I have no idea what is about, she has been checked for tongue tie and it's not that.....

Are your evenings anything like this?

My breastfeeding group have said that cluster feeding can be usual during growth spurts, but longer than 40 minute feeds could be down to a poor latch...lo and behold I've been shown there I was going wrong and feeds are shorter...I only went yesterday mind, so early days yet...

Yes, my son was v unhappy when feeding - constantly on and off the boob and crying, which was why it took so long. To be honest I don't know how much of that was the tt and how much was the CPMA (sorry, should have said originally - cows milk protein allergy)
