Cluster feeding = more diapers — am I going through more than normal?

3-week-old is cluster feeding evenings. Going through 12-14 diapers a day. Is this normal volume?

Normal newborn diaper volume: 6-12 wet + 3-4 dirty per 24h. Cluster feeding can push 12-14 total. Concerning signs: fewer than 6 wets in 24h (hydration check) or sudden change. Bulk buying helps the cost shock.
