And that's a perfect opportunity to point out that they took the food even
though they're not trying to gain weight, that they didn't need it but
derived pleasure from it anyway, that they felt more comfortable and cared
for because of it - in short, that they needn't try to gauge whether their
little one "is hungry yet" before offering the breast as a solution to
whatever is making him wiggly.
