To me, one of the lovely things about breastfeeding is that you don't have 
to worry about whether baby is signalling hunger, wanting to suck, wanting 
to sleep, wanting to be held, whatever. Just put the baby to the breast. If 
he's hungry, he'll eat, if he wants to suck, he'll suck, if he wants to 
sleep, he'll nurse to sleep, if he wants to be held he'll probably just play 
around at the breast and he's happy in your arms. It's all good.

I actually think it's easier for the busy mother to know that she can feed 
her baby very frequently (if that suits the baby) for short periods of time 
rather than having to sit down and get organized every three hours for a 
long feeding.
