feeding frenzy

Or I guess they call it 'cluster feeding'. They say it is common in newborns and one reason is explained as them 'tanking up' before night time so they can have a longer sleep period. Whatever it is Jackson is insatiable once evening falls. All he wants to do is breastfeed. Even if he falls asleep while on the breasts and appears to be sound asleep and content he's not. As soon as I start to move him away he wakes up screaming, shakes his head back and forth with his little fingers in his mouth wanting more. So I put him on the other side and this is repeated over and over and over again. Last night, or should I say this morning, it was repeated until 5:45am. It was a long night for me...and my breasts.
