Hi, my 22mth old daughter was never satisfied in the early days when i just breastfed. I eventually combined bottle and breast, it definately helped. I would alternate between the two, making the late night bedtime feed a bottle. She's still only small, 24lbs, but she was happier. I stopped breast feeding totally at 8 months, dont give up the breat feeding if it makes you unhappy.
