Oh dear.  Why the timing?  This is the kind of thing I spend my time working
to *undo* with mothers.  They're convinced that their baby isn't getting
enough, etc if they feed differently than the above routine and end up
switching to formula, or end up pumping and bottlefeeding simply because
their babies feed differently than this.

Actually, I'm not sure I've actually met a baby who feeds in this oft
described textbook manner.
