Constant feeding.

My baby is 1 week old today. For the past 2 nights he's been wanting constant feeding from about 1-5. Every time I think he's dropped off he's awake again chewing his hand searching for boob!

Is this a normal thing? He never does it in the day time only during the middle of the night.

Yes think it's cluster feeding to build up your supply. Mine did this until about 5 weeks old from 4pm - 8 pm every day.

Yep totally normal I'm afraid. It does get much easier x

Why can't it be at a nice time instead of bang in the middle of the night? I hope it gets easier soon, feel like a cow at the moment.
