When my ds1 was a few weeks old I really treated almost all crying with feeding.
I agree with everything Beth wrote, actually. My LC was a kind soul who told me that it was OK after 15-20 minutes to remove my (typically sleeping) dd from the breast. Yes, she was often back on a mere 45minutes to an hour later. I found dd2 did not nurse as much as a newborn - mostly because I better understood when she needed to nurse but also because she was less likely to comfort nurse than dd1.
