Babies have lots of needs for breastfeeding, not just nutritional. Needs and
wants are the same thing for the young baby, IMHO.
But again I disagree - consistent 45-minute feeds are often an indicator of
an underlying infant suck problem. Look carefully at the baby after you've
corrected positioning and latch. Even Chloe Fisher says that
positioning/latch only correct about 80-85% of the problems. That leaves
15-20% of babies with a possible suck problem. Even if this is temporary, it
needs to be considered and carefully evaluated.
