Cluster Feeding
Cluster feeding is usually used to describe newborn infants. This can either be related to them looking to comfort themselves at the breast, or trying to take in more colostrum or milk. Be extremely wary of “cluster feeding” if your baby is losing too much weight, not having enough poopy or wet diapers, or the baby appears frantic at the breast and is eating its hands.
