Hi Susan,
This discussion on lactnet has shown that just what is "appropriate" varies
widely.....very, very widely....who gets to decide what is "appropriate." My
point is, it is not *appropriate* for one person (or one group of people) to
decide what is "appropriate" especially when there is clearly a cultural
ingredient in this mix determining practice.
And I think that this discussion is really about test weighing, weighing to
measure growth is something different.
