Cluster feeding

Cluster feeding refers to a pattern of breastfeeding where an infant feeds frequently in short intervals over a period of time,^[1] often during the evening or late afternoon. This phenomenon is a common behavior in newborns and young infants and is often associated with growth spurts, developmental milestones, and the body's adjustment to the demands of breastfeeding.^[2] However, cluster feeding without such reasons may also be a sign of issues such as delayed lactogenesis, low milk production, or an improper latch.^[3]
