hear hear!!  Weighing full stop should be treated more seriously!! 

I read the original post and shuddered, but reminded myself that this came 
from the US where the weighing culture is even more entrenched and has 
morphed beyond what we have ever seen here.  However, women doing their own 
pre and post feed weights looks, from this side of the Atlantic, like a 
massive retrograde step back to the disasterous practices of the early to 
mid 20th century that nearly destroyed breastfeeding.
