This is some very reasonable advice. Ander likes to eat. He was born at 42 weeks so he was considered a "mature" baby, he was 22 inches long with large hands and feet, so needless to say he eats like a bull. I've ordered the book and will see how it goes. Thanks for the information!

I hope it's helpful to you; it was immensely helpful to wife and me.
I noticed another post or comment recommending breastfeeding on demand. My wife is a huge promoter of breastfeeding (and has worked in the past as a breastfeeding educator). Some of the folks who are die-hard parent-directed-feeding advocates discount the breastfeeding-on-demand advocates, and vice versa.
My take is that both are based on some solid principles that need not be mutually-exclusive. The big takeaway (for us) from parent-directed-feeding was the sleeping, eating, and wake-time sequence (which is why I highlighted that in my post). That sequence is easiest when implemented by following a schedule. However, baby's metabolism changes rather quickly, so the core principle behind breastfeeding-on-demand is important, too.
