Cluster pumping saved my milk supply.
I was so close to losing my supply, and I was honestly panicking. Working 12 ½ hour shifts, being away from my baby that long—I started to think I wouldn’t be able to keep up, and that he might need formula (which is totally okay, by the way—fed is best). But I really wanted to keep breastfeeding.
I gave cluster pumping a shot—shorter, more frequent sessions to mimic a baby’s cluster feeding—and within 3 days, my supply came back. I couldn’t believe it actually worked, but it did.
If you’re struggling, hang in there. Cluster pumping can be a game changer.
