I don't recall anyone sharing available refs on test-weighing so I'm posting several re: use with preterm infants:
Hurst NM, Meier PP, Engstrom JL & Myatt A (2004). Mothers performing in-home measurement of milk intake during breastfeeding of their preterm infants: Maternal reactions and feeding outcomes. J Hum Lact, 20(2), 178-187.
Hall WA, Shearer K, Mogan J & Berkowitz J (2002). Weighing preterm infants before & after breastfeeding: Does it increase maternal confidence and competence? MCN: Am J Mat Child Nsg, 27(6), 318-326.
Meier PP et al (1995). A new scale for in-home test-weighing for mothers of preterm and high risk infants. J Hum Lact, 10(3), 163-168.
