I agree with Joy, and I, too, wondered how she would *know* that the baby
screamed "two hours after a feed."  Two hours after a feed should be simply
another feed... or a third or fourth or more feed.  It sounds as if there's
something restrictive about this mother's approach that is far more likely
to be responsible for a weight problem than anything to do with nursing on
one side, on cue, for a few feedings in a row.

Has *anyone else*, of our 2700 lactnetters, seen a weight problem following
switching to one breast for several feeds?
