Helen - Xander was (still is!) trying to feed 2 hourly... at one stage it was hourly! We are now trying to slowly stretch out his feeds to 3 hourly as we know he is gaining enough weight to not cause any probs by doing so and I honestly wouldn't mind a longer break between feeds. At the moment, we are stalling his feeds by 15 minutes, once he is used to that, we'll add another 15 minutes until we get to 3 hourly feeds. The MCHN suggested that *possibly* I was contributing to the wind as he was feeding so often and I have such a fast letdown that causes him to gulp. I'll let you know how we go, so far Xander is pretty stroppy in those 15 minutes!
Oh and you are counting the time between feeds right. LOL at the rogue doodle incident... our little man got himself in the face the other day as I wasn't quick enough with the new nappy, was not happy!
