Breastfeeding

cluster feeding at night

DD used to eat every 2-3 hours on a regular basis until her growth spurt this past weekend. Now she still eats every 2-3 hours during the day and overnight, but cluster feeds like crazy all evening. I know that it's common for young babies to go through an extra fussy/extra hungry period in the evenings, but I was just wondering how long this usually lasts for? It's rough because I try to pump, but she won't let me set her down (she'll fall asleep after eating, but wakes up almost immediately if I set her down and demands to have a long feeding even if she just finished one 30 minutes prior), and I can't pump with her on me.

I'm just having a really rough time between still really feeling the baby blues and her being so miserable all night. The pumping was suggested by my MW so that DH could cover a feeding or two and help me feel less overwhelmed, but DD won't stay calm long enough for me to do that.
