Holy Cow!  After more than two decades as a certified MD/IBCLC I must offer my opinion that test weighing is virtually worthless, damages mothers' confidence in nursing, is rarely accurate and should not be a routine part of a lactation expert's evaluation of babies.  Look at urine output, stooling, suck and swallow and weight over days not over minutes.
