Diane Spatz has done some great research here at the Univ. of PA School of 
Nursing.  In what I believe is an as-yet-unpublished piece, she found that 
mothers of pre-termers who are using accurate scales at home *really liked 
them.*

These moms were part of a group getting intensive lactation follow-up care.  
These were babies who were in the see-saw transition period where one 
feeding might be great; the next a snooze-fest.

The moms said the scale allowed them to know, with greater certainty, how 
much post-nursing supplementing (of expressed milk) and subsequent pump use 
had to be going on.
