Cluster feeding and slept for 5-6 hours

2024-05-27 00:27:44
My baby is 16 days old. He does cluster feeding asking for milk every 15-30mins for straight 3 hours. And then he sleeps for 5-6 hours. Despite of changing nappy in sleep, he doesn't wake up asking for feed. Is this pattern normal ?

Cluster feeding can be due to some kind of disturbance or pain. Sleeping 5-6 hours without feed is normal
