[quote=Anonymous]Without using any particular method, I just found that my son naturally started sleeping longer when he reached 11-12 lbs.

But FWIW, I DID try to hold off my son between feedings when I was breastfeeding- because I seriously couldn't handle having him attached to me morning, noon, and night.  I was having a lot of medical problems that required surgeries, extended hospital stays, etc.  I didn't want to become a human pacifier because I mentally and physically couldn't handle it. and didn't want him learning to rely on it since I was relying on other people to help me take care of him.  So if I had just fed him at 10 AM and he was crying again at 11, I did everything I could to calm him down before feeding him again.  Maybe I'm cruel, but if I could settle him back down, I did- before resorting to food.   To me, "feed on demand" is rather subjective when you're talking about a 1 month old who can't talk.  Crying does NOT always mean hungry.  It simply doesn't.  I'm not advocating going 4-5 hours between feedings, but it worked for me to try other methods of soothing (Happiest Baby on the Block) before resorting to the boob.  I think we were all happier for it. [/quote]
