bf baby snacking?

[Rachog]

Me again...

Ds seems to be snacking, having short 5-10 min feeds every hour or so. Is this normal? Should I carry on feeding on demand or is he not getting enoough hindmillk in this way? Should I try to encorage him to wait and have a longer feed?

Please help oh wise mumsnetters!

Is it hot where you are today? If so, he might be feeding like this to quench his thirst in the hot weather - your milk can adjust to be more watery.

What the PP said
It's boiling today - feeding little and often is ok

Ah that makes sense. I think I overthink these things!
