Dear all:

Bear with me for a moment while I complain and get it out of my system. No one funded 
me, nor did I ask for funding to collect data on test-weighing.  I just went through page by 
page the methodology of everything I could lay my hands on for test-weighing.  Apart from 
Paula Meier's and Ken Brown's (now at Davis, but formerly of Hopkins, the sample sizes for 
all the studies is ridiculously low.  My sample size with no funds exceeds that of most of the 
studies that received funds.  I think that is pathetic.  

The devil is always in the details.  Going from the giant review article that I initially read to 
the detailed methods sections and the little glimpses of clues of things that we all know as 
lactation consultants is fascinating.  Had we been around when some of these studies were 
done, we could all have lent a degree of pragmatic common sense to some of the academic 
arguements.

Best, Susan Burger.
