Cluster Feeding and Pump

My baby cluster fed one night, he was only 7 days old. And after that I have a very nice milk supply. If your baby don't cluster feed, try pumping as if your baby was.

P.S: For those who do not know what Cluster Feeding is, it is a time when your baby wants a lot of short feeding sessions over a few hours (this generally happens when your baby is growing). It's pretty normal for some newborn babies and can be often noted in the early days or first few weeks of breastfeeding (also commonly observed in week 3 and/or week 6 of your newborn baby when the growth is at its peak). Cluster feeding is often commonly observed in the late afternoon or early evening, but it can happen anytime of the day - depends upon your baby.
