From my research, it seems that human children are *designed* to be fed as often as 3-4 times per hour, and in most parts of the world you will not find any babies willing to go two hours between feedings in the early months, and many continue to nurse multiple times per hour until they are 3 or 4 years of age. If the problem is oversupply colic, then the comment above may be true, but it cannot be assumed that every baby who wants to feed frequently has a tummy ache. Babies nurse for hunger, for thirst, for immunities, for regulation of their temperature, heart beat, and blood pressure, for pain relief, and for the emotional security. Don't assume that if baby isn't hungry he doesn't have a legitimate need to nurse. Don't assume that it is normal for babies to go two hours without feeding........ Kathy D.
