This is a bit of a ridiculous question, as DS is 17 weeks - but I feel I have developed the habit of putting him on the breast a lot of the times when he grizzles and I've lost the ability to know when he actually wants feeding. I used to go by him trying to suck things but now he has found his hands, everything goes into his mouth! He will also always accept the breast, so I have become in the habit of always offering it as a failsafe way of calming him. But I'm also starting to get worried about all the feeding to sleep I am doing and complete lack of routine.
Sorry this post is becoming rambly, I guess there are a lot of issues bound up in this and I feel like I am losing my way with parenting at the moment, but as an immediate thing I wondered if you could let me know some of the signs of hunger for an older baby. Am feeling really bad that I still can't tell what he needs.
