Sometimes infants "cluster feed" before taking a nap. It does not mean your milk supply is low
During the daytime, if three hours have passed since your baby’s last feeding, or if your breasts are full, you might want to wake her to feed. Talking, rubbing, patting, unwrapping, or undressing her will help. It could take up to five to 10 minutes to wake her completely, but it usually will result in a better feeding.
If she shows signs of hunger—even if she just ate an hour ago—it’s OK to feed her again. Sometimes infants "cluster feed" before taking a nap. It does not mean your milk supply is low. This is normal breastfeeding behavior.
On the other hand, if one or both breasts become engorged between feedings, use a breast pump or hand express to help relieve them.
