Six?  Eleven?  Maybe a couple hundred actually.  There are tens of thousands of pediatricians and other doctors whose ONLY criterion for breastfeeding success is rapid weight gain following guidelines for artiificially fed babies.

We certainly need to track "thriving" and weight gain over days and weeks.  I just stringently object to attaching much if any importance to weight gain through an individual feed.

No disrespect EVER intended! (Except, of course, to doofus doctors who just don't understand  breastfeeding .  .   . )
