Hey Pam ~ My first DP was like that, not really into the baby side of things, but once DS got bigger and started interacting more he was right in there.
I have tried to hold off Seven from feeding so often, she doesn't normally go that frequently, but its to no avail - she screams harder! She won't take a dummy so I can't soothe her that way, but, when she does go on the breast, she actually feeds, instead of just snacking, so she must need it right?
