Yes, I remember Rylee would do a cluster feed in the evenings from about 4 - 9 pm - so she was constantly on the boob. I would feed then put her down and then an hour later she would want more, I would think to myself that can't be right, what am I doing wrong? Apparantley, they cluster feed to try and build up a supply for the night, also bf bubs love the comfort of the boob, nice tasting milk, close to mum - who wouldn't?
It is hard...but it goes so quickly and it DOES get better......the crying gets less and less, it really does...you just have to believe in yourself and your bm supply is still being established that is for sure. It all takes time, these little bubs have come from being in a nice warm place, being fed whenever they want to coming out into the noisy, scary outside world where the feeling of hunger is a strange one for them, big adjustment. They aren't crying to annoy you just to let you know how they are feeling like what Snacks said. Also, like what the other girls said, wrapping is a really nice thing for them, makes them feel nice and warm and secure..
It DOES get easier...... Really it does....
