At 7 weeks, this is usually normal. Babies often go through a growth spurt around 6–8 weeks and may **cluster feed**, wanting to nurse more frequently or for longer durations. This helps stimulate milk production to meet their growing needs.
Since your baby is gaining weight well and has more than 6 wet diapers per day, these are reassuring signs that your breast milk is sufficient.
Formula is not routinely required if growth and urine output are adequate.
Instead:
1)Feed on demand.
2)Ensure a good latch and effective milk transfer.
3)Switch sides when the baby has finished the first breast.
4)Take care of yourself by staying hydrated, eating well, and resting whenever possible.
Cluster feeding is temporary and usually improves over the next few weeks.
Next Steps
If each feed consistently lasts more than 45–60 minutes, the baby remains unsatisfied after feeds, has poor weight gain, or you experience significant nipple pain, an assessment by a lactation counsellor or your Pediatrician is recommended to evaluate latch and feeding technique.
