Dear Lactnet Friends:
I used to feel that the scales were unnecessary, that if a baby had weight
gain issues the pediatrician would be monitoring.
Nowadays, I have learned the scale is just one more tool at my disposal,
like my neonatal stethoscope, and the occasional nipple shield: never used
routinely, and there if I need it. When a baby looks great and the mother
feels no pain, it is always useful to discover that the baby has transferred
only a few grams of milk.
My scale is not heavy. My bag of papers and aides is heavier. There are
always carts with wheels if folks don't want to carry things.
warmly,
--
