This is the one thing I wish someone had told me as a new mum…
Cluster feeding.
No one warned me that my newborn might want to feed constantly — especially in those early days.
I remember sitting there thinking,
“Am I doing something wrong?”
“Why won’t they settle?”
“Do I not have enough milk?”
But here’s the truth:
Cluster feeding is completely normal. (Although it can be extremely overwhelming especially just after birth when rest and recovery is so important).
Your baby is:
Boosting your milk supply
Seeking comfort
Adjusting to the world
For me, my newborn fed almost non-stop through the night in that first week.
I was exhausted and questioning everything.
But now I know — that was my baby doing exactly what they needed.
If I'd have known this maybe my experience would have been different.
One thing I tell my mums to be all the time is ensure you plan for those early weeks postpartum, ensuring everyone around you has everything covered so you can prioritise your baby, your recovery and most importantly REST.
If you’re in this right now: You’re not doing anything wrong.
You’re responding exactly how your baby needs.
✨ This is exactly why I’ve created my BRAND NEW antenatal programme.
Because you deserve to know this before your baby arrives — not at 3am, exhausted and doubting yourself.

Be sure to keep an eye on my page over the next few weeks to ensure you don't miss out, this space will be limited to a small group of mums to be and their birth partners to ensure you get the ultimate support.
