"Switch nursing" or "super switch nursing" is described in both the "Womanly
Art of Breastfeeding" (p. 325-6) and the "Breastfeeding Answer Book" (p. 94)
as *one* method of increasing milk supply, especially with a baby who has a
weak or lazy suck.   If a breastfeeding mother is already "hung up" on
getting her baby on a schedule, she may interpret "switch breasts when your
baby slows down or stops nursing" as "switch every five minutes" OR she may
be switching breasts when the baby slows down or stops nursing and it seems
to her to be happening every five minutes ... when explaining the process to
someone else she assigns the five minute figure because it sounds "about
right".  Some moms will not always hear what is being said while other moms
will have a hard time giving information third hand.
