Please help me understand something (am 25weeks right now).
I understand that with breast feeding, it is important to feed on demand (ensure supply etc etc), but have been getting some cats' bum faces from DM today when I told her this is what current recommendations are. I personally am planning on BF'ing, but have no idea if I can/will etc when the time comes.
Apparently, me and DBro were fed every 4 hours (FF) "whether we needed it or not."
When/why did the guidelines change? I need something to counter her with next time I see her! Are FF babies fed on demand too nowadays?
I don't want to be chained to the baby, apparently.
