Рет қаралды 5,360
Күн бұрынIf you find your baby constantly feeding (or find your baby always hungry and wanting milk from you), this is called cluster feeding...If you have been googling 'cluster feeding newborn', 'cluster feeding at 2 weeks', 'cluster feeding at 3 weeks', 'cluster feeding at 6 weeks old', you have come to the right place! When my daughter was small, I was often cluster feeding all day and cluster feeding at night especially in the early weeks and months of her life. I found breastfeeding constantly pretty challenging at times until I learned how to deal with it better. In this video, I share my top tips to help you get through your cluster feed journey with calm, confidence and patience! Hope it helps and if you have any questions, leave me a message in the comments section. I will reply as fast as I can :)
Love, Anja xxxx

Thank you for your videos and for this video, I am watching this while cluster feeding my newborn 😊 I was listening to your hipnobirthing meditations throughout the whole pregnancy. I gave birth to my first child, a wonderful baby girl on 23rd of December. It was painful, but I managed to stay calm and made it without an epidural! Thank you Anja and have a beautiful evening! 😊

Hi Thank you for making these videos they have all been very useful 🥰 Can baby cluster feed more than a few days? My newborn is 2 weeks old and he has been cluster feeding everyday from 7am to 3pm and then from 7pm to 2am. Is this normal? It is really draining all my energies

Hi darling, every baby is different. If you are ever concerned do tell your doctor. Does your baby have plenty of wet nappies? If so, I'm sure your baby must be fine. Probably just very very hungry and growing fast. X

Yes my baby is cluster feeding . How can i pump milk acording to a shedule
@HypnobirthingWithAnja Жыл бұрын
I would recommend pumping a few times at the same time to build up a store of milk. Have you introduced a bottle to your baby yet? X

Hi ajna. My baby had a cluster feeding session yesterday night but the next morning she sleeps continuously. Even after trying her to wake for feeding she feeds for 10 mins and falls asleep. She hasn't peed from 10 am till the night. Im worried. Do babies sleep longer after cluster feeding ??
@HypnobirthingWithAnja 2 ай бұрын
Hi honey, if your baby hasn't peed for hours and hours I would get checked by a doctor to check everything is ok. It is common for babies to sleep more when cluster feeding as they are growing and digesting the milk which can make them tired. However, I would get a medical check for reassurance. x

Hi I just want to know if the baby is cluster feeding do I have to burp him every time after feeding as whenever I am burping him he is waking up and trying to feed
@HypnobirthingWithAnja 2 жыл бұрын
Thanks for your question. It really depends if you think your baby is getting trapped wind or not. Usually it is recommended to try and burp your baby after every feed but you could test and see whether it is better if you don't burp every single time. If he cries or gets upset without the burping, you will know that your baby boy is uncomfortable and obviously needed to get wind up. If he doesn't get upset and stays asleep, you will know that you don't have to burp him/cause him to wake after every feed. How do you burp him by the way? And what position are you feeding him in? ❤️

@@HypnobirthingWithAnja thanks for the replyy.. my baby is 3 weeks old.. cluster feed a lot but before I never used to burp him..while trying also he never burps but recently while sleeping he was choked & spitting up milk so I got worried and started burping him...then also he never Burps only sometimes the gas passes out... what I generally prefer is the latching position for breastfeeding and I burp him in Shoulder position

During cluster feeding is milk being produced for the baby. Bcz after every feeding when I press my breasts no milk is found.
@HypnobirthingWithAnja 6 ай бұрын
Hi, thanks for your question. If no milk is found it generally means that your baby has emptied your breast but after the feeding your breasts will start making more milk due to the nipple stimulation from your baby whilst feeding 🌹❣️👍

I'm cluster feeding since 10 days, does it really end? It started on day 2 of his life, and doesn't seem to be going to ever end. He's putting on weight and having wet diapers, but my nipples are falling off
@HypnobirthingWithAnja 5 күн бұрын
@@monaami555 hi! Thanks for your question. So sorry you've got sore nipples. They should desensitize a bit as your nipples get used to feeding your baby. It's very early days for you at the moment and it's normal to experience really sore nipples initially. It's good that your baby is putting on weight and has wet diapers. He is obviously getting enough milk otherwise he wouldn't be putting on weight. Cluster feeding won't go on forever. It comes and goes based on your baby's growth spurts. Your baby may also be feeding alot for comfort & closeness with you. If you are constantly feeding your baby, check how much he is swallowing. If you look down and see that he hasn't shown any swallowing action for a while, he may just be suckling on your nipples for comfort. If this is the case and he's not actually feeding, you could just cuddle him skin to skin or play some white noise in the room that you're in to comfort and soothe him. Also, let your nipples dry out (get air to them) to help with soreness. I am sure things will get easier for you but try these tips and let me know how you get on. Also, 'silver nipple shields' can be really helpful if you have really sore nipples. There is something in the silver that helps nipples to recover in-between feeds. You are doing a great job and should be very proud of yourself. Breastfeeding is hard work at the start but you are clearly doing very well and being very strong and resilient. Sending you my love and best wishes 😘 💕❤️

@@HypnobirthingWithAnja thanks a lot. He's swallowing most of the time, only at the end not, then I unlatch him. But yes today I managed to calm him down just by lying together, and white noise. It's so hard to tell when he's actually hungry. The skin on my nipples was sore in the hospital but it has already healed (lanolin ointment works wonders), they look fine but still hurt "inside", as if the tissue inside got damaged from all the sucking.. is this also gonna get better and how long it could take? I also notice that when I wake him up when he falls asleep during feeding, change the breast and feed more, then he's clustering less. My midwife said I shouldn't do it and if he's sleeping it means he's full. But then why does he act hungry after I wake him up? It's so confusing 😅

@@monaami555 in the early days, things are confusing. You and your baby are learning together and getting to know one another. You are clearly doing an amazing job with your baby boy and you're less than 2 weeks into motherhood so please please please be proud of yourself! The 'inside' soreness you're experiencing will all be related to the nerves in your nipples and breasts. For me, the first month was the most sore then it got so much easier with the breastfeeding. The fact that you are breastfeeding is an amazing achievement in itself as many women give up due to the discomfort and soreness so you are being so resilient 💪 Your baby's digestive system is maturing at the moment and his stomach will be growing bigger so he will be hungry quite a bit. You should expect to feed him about 8-12 times a day right now. Also at 2-3 weeks cluster feeding will reach its peak probably, then reoccur a few weeks later. Just try your best to look after yourself, stay hydrated and well nourished with good food and make sure you're comfortable when feeding your baby. I used to listen to music or watch TV if I was stuck feeding for hours. It also helped to distract me from the soreness. But that will get better and easier for you in the weeks to follow. 💓🌹
