Overwhelmed and emotional

LO has been feeding constantly since last night… she has been awake for basically 4 hours straight today just feeding and sleeping for about 5 minutes then waking up just to feed again. This ended in a big vomit and since then she’s been waking up every hour to feed again for 20 minutes. Am I doing something wrong? Should I not be feeding immediately after she wakes to cry? Do I keep up with the feeds? Is this normal? Any help or advice mama’s

How old is she ?

We were told they will cluster feed during growth spurts. Mine did that at like 2 months for like 2-3days and then went kind of back to normal. But, you can caall your pediatrician to discuss further just in case.

Depends on her age. Cluster feeding is normal in the early weeks and also during leaps

Just over one week

Sounds like she is cluster feeding. It can be very draining both physically and mentally. But know that it will pass. Just try to sleep when you can. If she can’t be put down then wear her for a bit when she just fell asleep for about 10 minutes, the. Try swaddling her as well, I always find that helps a lot. Eat when you, drink lots of water, and get some help. When she’s awake, get someone to be with her, do tummy time and you can go shower, eat or even nap - because she’s gonna want to cluster feeding again.
