Cluster feeding is especially common in the early days of breastfeeding, but it often resurfaces during growth spurts throughout their first few months of life.
Growth spurts are most common at about two weeks, six weeks, three months and six months of age. Nursing more during growth spurts is your baby’s way of telling your body, “Hey, I’m bigger now! I need more milk than I did last week, so make some extra!”
As your baby gets older, episodes of cluster feeding should dwindle. They usually grow out of it by the time they hit the four-month mark, although their six-month growth spurt might spur an additional bout of fussiness.
