I have heard pediatricians say that if your child is hungry, you should FEED THEM. Contrary to old wives tales, "snacking" is actually more healthy than eating just a few big meals a day, and especially in a time of such rapid growth it is important that your daughter gets what her body needs to grow. Breastfed babies at this age often nurse frequently at night, my daughter at that age nursed every 3 hours at night! Your situation is not terribly unusual, and while it is inconvenient right now, it will eventually pass.
