What to look for after 7 nights
- Longest stretch: hours between any two feeds. Lengthens 30-60 min/week typically.
- Cluster pattern: 2-3 close feeds early evening = normal cluster, not low supply.
- Output: 6+ wet diapers per 24h after day 5 = adequate intake.
When to call the pediatrician:fewer than 6 wet diapers in 24h after day 5 · weight loss >10% of birth weight · baby sleeping >4h stretches before week 6 without waking to feed (some babies do, but flag it for a weight check).
