<< . . . one could always charge an additional fee for test weighing. I know that pediatricians charge $50 for a test weigh on the Upper East Side of Manhattan. >>
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.
