During cluster feeding, how long may a baby feed frequently for short amounts of time, typically?

12-24 hours
1-2 days
48-72 hours
24-48 hours

The correct answer is: 24-48 hours

Cluster feeding is a common pattern where a baby feeds frequently for short amounts of time. The feeding sessions can last anywhere from 10 minutes to 45 minutes, and may continue for several hours. While cluster feeding can occur at any time, it is most common in the evenings, often lasting from 24-48 hours. Option A is incorrect because 12-24 hours is not typically the duration of cluster feeding. Option B is incorrect because 1-2 days is too long for cluster feeding to last. Option C is incorrect because 48-72 hours is even longer than the previous option, and again, not a typical duration for cluster feeding. Option D is the correct answer as it falls within the expected time frame for cluster feeding.
