Sheila,
I was also "breastfed" on a q4h schedule, then "topped off" with a 
bottle of homemade formula. By 6 weeks, mom decided that she didn't have 
any milk. Wonder why not? She faithfully followed this 4 hourly 
scheduling and early solids advice for all my siblings, and thought 
there was something wrong with her that she "never had enough milk" for 
any of us until I became a lactation consultant and gently explained 
that she got bad advice. I still remember my father carrying screaming 
babies and trying to comfort them until it was "time" for a feeding. 
Eventually, attempts at comforting ceased, but the schedule remained.
