Cluster feeding is a normal and temporary phase when your baby wants to nurse very frequently — often every 20–30 minutes — usually during the evening or before a long stretch of sleep. It often happens during growth spurts (around 2–3 weeks, 6 weeks, and 3 months) when your baby’s body and brain are developing rapidly.
While it can feel exhausting, cluster feeding helps stimulate your milk supply and provides your baby with comfort and reassurance. During these periods, try to stay hydrated, rest when you can, and trust your baby’s cues — it doesn’t mean your milk supply is low. This phase typically passes within a few days and often leads to longer stretches of sleep afterward.
✨ Remember: frequent feeding is your baby’s way of helping your body adjust to their growing needs — it’s a sign of healthy development, not a problem to fix.
