I have always demand fed Jenna too - although this means some clock watching on occasion. I had one good piece of advise, which is try and stretch out your feeds to start 2 hourly of each other to help with colic and wind etc. It seems to make a little difference, and give me 30 mins off between feeds (at the newborn stage). And when I have to go out and do something without Jenna, I need to watch the clock so I'm back in time for her next feed - which is usually 3 hourly.

I was really surprised with my mother recently who said - "I believe a baby should be fed when it needs to, whether 2,3 or 4 hourly. If she is upset, feed her!" Considering mum raised babies in the 60's, I was really surprised about this.

I also read somewhere the other day that in the 60's only about 30% of babies were breastfed (I think) whereas now something like 85% are. Isn't that an amazing statistic?
