Feed your baby whenever he/she shows signs of hunger, don't wait for him/her to start crying inconsolably. Follow the signals your baby sends you and let him/her suckle whenever he/she wants, without limiting the number or length of breastfeeds. This will satisfy the child's needs, whether it is hunger or thirst.
