In the end, babies feed the way babies want to feed - be that long leisurely feeds or quick feeds. We hover, tinkering around the edges! he sounds like an efficient feeder. Sometimes they "know" that the other side will just be too much for their little tummy. He sounds like a normal, thriving baby. I am convinced that it is waaay better they don't come with guages. It would tell you how much they had - but it still wouldn't tell you how much they wanted or needed - don't watch the numbers - watch the baby!
