Spread it out

Over the last week or so, baby has been stretching out to four hours between feeds.

I'm going to guess it's linked to her getting older and her increasing the amount of solids she is eating. This is why it's extra important that we ensure we do give her solids twice a day, and enough to the point where she doesn't want anymore. This is teaching her self-control in her eating, so that we don't overfeed her and so that she gets more understanding of the relationship between her hunger and her food.

It is making the day that much more enjoyable though - lovely to have that bit of extra time before having to rush to jam a boob in it!
