Medical texts recommend feeding babies when they are hungry.
That is not to say that your baby won't thrive on schedules, but that you're following into uncharted territory when you schedule. At the first hint of problem, your pediatrician will recommend that you either feed more often, or supplement - which turns into weaning, because you didn't make enough milk since you restricted nursing. I demand fed - and yes, it was a lot of work in the beginning, but by 5 months, he was so efficient at the breast that a feeding took maybe as long as 5 minutes. By that point I could care less that he still ate about every hour and a half. No Messages Hi.
