I wonder if somehow I am managing it. DS is 4 months, growing well, cheery and chubby, lots of wet and dirty nappies etc. but lately I think I've been offering him the breast when he's not especially hungry. I wonder if I'm so in the habit of offering frequently that I'm actually not reading his cues right anymore - he was a very frequent feeder during the early ravenous days, but now he's at the stage where he's more interested in looking around and playing with stuff so it's harder to tell when he's actually hungry (unless he's had a long sleep, ha ha, or similar).
The thing that's mainly bothering me is that he's quite a sicky baby. He always has been so, bringing up a few mouthfuls of milk after every feed, but these days he'll posset 2 or 3 times over the course of about half an hour. He doesn't seem that bothered by it, although will have a little whinge if it's a particularly thick and cheesy puke, but it makes me think perhaps he's just eating to be polite whenever I offer the breast! I admit that sometimes these days I'll offer when I'm at a loose end during a long day alone with him or as a shortcut to settling
Opinions much appreciated
