Nina says,
 
 
<<I have discovered 2 separate papers reporting large high  quality studies 
and that demonstrate that median feed frequency in exclusively  breastfed 
infants is 10/day.  That means that the 'usual' advice to "Feed  at least 3rd 
hourly" is unlikely to support adequate intake in most  babies.  One of the 
papers even found an association between feeding  >10 times in 24 hours and 
longer duration.  In light of this research,  is it time we changed the 
standard feeding advice to 'at least 10 times in  24hours'?>>

 
At the risk of sounding radical and grumpy, how about  letting the babies 
decide?
