A baby knows when they're hungry, sleepy, etc. This is not to say that you can't help guide him. When we first brought Ian home, we were clueless about how to schedule him. We would finally go to bed around 11 or so, and he slept wonderfully this way. In the first couple of months of life, your baby will naturally want to nurse more.
Babies have tiny stomaches and breast milk digests much faster than formula.
By around three months old, I started noticing a pattern being repeated daily and now at 6 mos, We can do pretty much whatever we want to, knowing that Ian has regulated himself. I realize that not all babies will do this, but I believe that most would,if given a chance. BTW, congrats on all the progress you've made in nursing your little one. No Messages Hi.
