Hi all,

does anyone knows if there is a (formal) definition of feeding on demand?

There are many variations in these and I think this is very important in research
, eg in research to SIDS and/or the use of pacifiers.

In the Netherlands it is very common to feed 4-5 times in 24 hours, and still
these women claim to feed on demand. So, 'on demand' can be intepreted on many
different ways.

The articles from Dettwyler on the internet do give much insight, but I'm
particularly looking for 'official' articles.
