<< It really
annoys me that the part that asks how much help the mother needs is
always a two (mother latches baby independently) when the nurses chart
on it. Then I have to come along and put a "1" because mom really needs
help (but obviously didn't get it.) The version we have has no place
for a score of complete comfort; the 2 under comfort is for "slight
irritation" or something of that sort. >>
My other annoyance is that there is no differentiation between breast and
nipple discomfort -- which are two entirely different entities. And "filling
breast" gets a 1. Filling is good. A 2 on day 4 in this instance would not
be a good thing. We like to see filling breasts. Totally soft and
comfortable (a 2) is not acceptable on days 3 to 5.....
