Of course, formula can make him wait longer, but only because it is more filling, not because it is more nutritious. Babies go through spurts where they seem to be so hungry they can t get enough, and then they will calm down. This is the baby telling your body he needs more milk, and he will get it if you continue to nurse on demand. It may seem painful and frustrating in the beginning, but if you stick with it, you will see the light on the other end of the tunnel before too long. When you get advice from friends and family, thank them and then let the comments go out the other ear.
