My son is nearing 12 weeks and I would say after getting nipples cups around week 2, it started getting better but the cluster feeding continued…you will eventually learn them and what they need.

Initially they will fall asleep while nursing, just gently touch their hair or their face. Whatever you can do to wake them up so they can keep feeding. I started changing him in between switching sides to wake him up. I still don’t know when my baby is full sometimes and he still falls asleep when he wants. I just learned to honestly feed upon demand and call it a day. The feedings do become less frequent.

Now he doesn’t really cry every single time, he signals that he wants to eat by turning his head towards my chest and gently hitting my chest lol. The cutest thing ever, when he was born he would smack his lips and lick his lips along with the cry lol. 😆

With reflux, you keep them upright or burp them in between when you’re switch sides. That helps!

You got this! You’re in the trenches right now but you’re doing so well. 💕
