Hi,

The others are right. What you are experiencing is common, and completely normal. You make the same amount of milk - day and night. What changes is your baby's behaviour. In the evening they are over tired/overstimulated/ we don't know what. They seek to regulate themselves (wind down) through sucking. sucking feels great! To us, it looks like *hungry* but not necessarily. They just want to be with their mum. You can feed them into oblivion (think about how you feel after Christmas dinner - you can do nothing else but collapse on the couch for a nanna nap. But we only do that once a year - it's not good all the time. The trouble is that this is the time of the day when we are tired/hungry and thirsty ourselves. We can't do anything about them (just dig in and feed) It can help though to make sure you have a snack, a nap and plenty to drink - so you can cope with that period. Your reward is that they often have their longest sleep after those hours of cluster feeding
