(((Hugs))) Totally agree about the small baby thing - I remember friends of mine whose doctor kept worrying them about their DD's small size, when, looking at her parents, it was pretty obvious why she was below the curves - they were both quite petite themselves and their baby was absolutely fine
Just wondering about that 'never feeling satisfied' after feeds - what makes you think that? What makes you think that he just wants to comfort suck rather than actually feed? If reflux is an issue, he may find it soothing to suck slowly - I know my DS did (DD, on the other hand, was just really reluctant to feed at all as it was uncomfortable), so investigating reflux meds could help him so that he doesn't have to suck to feel comfortable. I realise that with a toddler you don't want to be tied to a long feed if possible. DS would stay on there for more than an hour at a time and I just let him as I didn't know any different and didn't see a problem, other than of course OT
Alternatively, it may be that TT is making his feeding inefficient, so that he is genuinely still hungry when you think he must have finished. Do you take him off the breast after a certain length of time has passed, or does he come off himself? Does he bring up wind easily? My DS would keep coming off the breast as a NB but still seem hungry, turned out he was just swallowing a bit of air and needed to burp - once he'd done that he was back on for a good while longer and settled much better afterwards.
Or - are you saying he's unsatsfied after a feed because he seems hungry after a short nap? Tbh if he does seem hungry, don't feel that you have to stretch him, it may just be that he hasn't had enough milk from his previous feed to get him through - which may be 'fixed' by encouraging/allowing him to feed more during his first feed, or, it may be that he just can't take on any more at a time than he already is, or, your breasts may just have a smaller storage capacity than some other mums, which may mean that you'll always have to feed a bit more often, but as A times get longer you can get around that with top-up feeds before naps, so he doesn't wake hungry.
I'm sorry I think I've been rambling a lot and since I don't even know your answers to my questions at the beginning, much of what I've said may be completely irrelevant...but food for thought, perhaps, as you weigh it all up? Just don't forget, you know him best, whatever the doc/LC/BW people say, try to trust your mummy instincts when it comes to BF
