Does anyone have a clear statement of what sorts of cues a mother should
look for when deciding when it is time to nurse the baby? I'm thinking here
of something I've seen somewhere (probably here) about different levels of
indication of hunger, suggesting that mothers should NOT wait until the baby
is flat-out crying before they put the baby to the breast. Can anyone help
me out here?
Thanks.
