Can You Breastfeed on a Schedule?
By Gwen Morrison
Research indicates that women with smaller storage capacities produce plenty of milk for their babies, but they need to feed more times per day.
Mohrbacher suggests that new mothers who are frustrated with the cluster feeding during their normal sleeping hours and taking long sleep stretches throughout the day need to remember first and foremost that it is completely normal. "Babies tend to be born with their days and nights mixed up," she says. "Hopefully, knowing that her baby's frequent feedings do not mean there's something wrong will alleviate some of the anxiety."
Another way that new moms can minimize some of the stress is to ensure that they sleep when the baby sleeps – where it is ossible. This is usually not as easy when there is more than one child, unless you can all nap together.
