How long does cluster feeding last?

Zzz...

My bub cluster feeds in the evening for 3-4 hours. I feed him upstairs with lights off so he knows it's bedtime and it works really well, he goes straight to sleep after. But this means that I'm pretty bored and starving because I don't get dinner until he's down!

So just wondering how long babies do this for? I'm dreaming of feeding him and going downstairs for dinner at a normal hour

My daughter still does this most evenings..but I do it in the living room with the lights off and TV on with snacks nearby. She'll go back and forth for a couple of hours and go to sleep.

My son is 4.5 months old, he stopped cluster feeds about a month ago and now he started again because he got so active all of a sudden. It really comes and goes and it is more intense with growth leaps.

I was watching Mike and Molly on my laptop in bed during those non stop cluster feeds. Have a bottle of water near by and a few snacks. I just recently started having dinner at a decent hour w/ my hubby

Trust me though it is sooo worth it, my baby is so strong and healthy! I compare him with other babies who didn't get any breast milk and they are constantly sick and have to take antibiotics all the time, then I'm glad I tough it out with the cluster feeding.

My wee one still feeds a bit more in the evenings but the mad cluster feeding eased off around 3-3.5 months. It's so annoying I know. It's exhausting. Stick in there. It gets better.

My daughter never stopped cluster feeding in the evenings, even when I stopped BF at 14m old she was still doing it.
