Yes.   I see that I myself feed my 3rd child much quicker than I fed my
first.  I thought I was cue feeding then too.

But then I would say, "If you think she wants to eat just pass her over here
quickly!"   So we'd bounce her for 5 minutes or so until we were "pretty
sure" she wanted to nurse.

Now, by contrast, I say, "If you can't tell what she wants pass her over here
and I'll see if she feels like a little snack."   So she gets nursed at the
first peep -- and often will "just take a cup of tea to be polite," as my
mother describes her.  So she nurses for less time, but much more often.

And I already knew about bf, supposedly, then too --
