Another point is that a baby needs at least 3 hours to digest a feed. If you feed them again during this period, it can cause colic and wind. So it is important after about one month to slowly lengthen the time between feeds so as to be between 3 and 4 hours apart - this will reduce the wind problem dramatically, and get rid of the snack-feeding syndrome some babies develop.
