Feeding a newborn multiple times a day can be overwhelming, but Sophie sheds light on why this happens and how it's a normal, healthy process known as cluster feeding. Dive in to understand the biological mechanisms and practical strategies to manage those intense feeding days.
Three strategies for all-day feeding

- Monitor diaper output instead of stressing over feeding frequency.
