I would be interested in knowing what are the signs you observe in this
behavior.  I've always felt that some infants do self-limit their feeds, but
have never been able to put a true handle on it.  Also what are some of the
techniques that you use to get the baby to not limit their feeding:  Good
latch, breast-compression, switching? Are there other techniques I need to
add, but have missed.
