This study considers babies that are breast-fed, a more complex and natural process than bottle-feeding, and develops a more sophisticated model for the pattern of bursts and gaps which allows the parameters of the process to vary over the feed. We consider data from four breast feeds of each of 32 babies. We develop a two-component mixture model based on an underlying Markov chain model for the switching between bursts and gaps.
