[quote=Anonymous]I would encourage full feeds. If baby is just snacking, he's not getting the hindmilk which has a higher concentration of fats, which in theory should satiate him longer. Also, I mean this kindly, are you feeding him every time he cries? Sometimes babies cry for other reasons and it doesn't mean they are hungry. I breastfed my first for 2.5 yrs and my second is still going at 2.75 years so I'm a huge breastfeeding proponent but I think it can be done without having baby on your boobs all day if it's too much for you. I had a goal of every 2 hours at a minimum- sometimes they just wanted to be held or have a paci or change of scenery or diaper change etc. They never had any problem with weight gain (the opposite actually) and I never had problem with my supply.
