we also had a system, but a different one form the 20 minutes + 5 - of keeping 2 hours between meals - by the advise of my midwife and for the same reason, but at some point we gave it up because we felt that we're all becoming too neurotic with keeping track of time and that Hilel shouldn't go hungry and that he must know what he needs. but I'm not always sure, sometimes it seems to me that the eating has other functions than hunger - like falling asleep or today - we went to the doctor and he had to wait naked for too long and was crying, so maybe it's something emotional. (he was eating and crying all evening). and i get scared that the food is compensating for something, and it's not the best habit.
about the 2 sides - I feed him 2 sides most of the time but he still wants more and more.
and about the gasim - I also was told this and it's another cause for the confusion - is he hungry or not, hould i just let him eat whenever or force a system on him etc.
but anyway it's good to hear that i'm not the only one with this and that it will probably go away by itself when he grows older. it's just so hard to know sometimes why he's crying or what he needs, most times I feel OK but i get my moments of insecurity.
thanks
