Cluster feeding refers to a pattern of
breastfeeding where an
infant feeds frequently in short intervals over a period of time,
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.
However, cluster feeding without such reasons may also be a sign of issues such as delayed lactogenesis, low milk production, or an improper latch.
