Yes, Andrew, let's address the real issue.  Weight is only one piece of the
information needed in assessment of adequate breastfeeding.  And any weight
is only as good as the scale it's obtained from, the person operating the
scale, and the person recording the information.  Like any other piece of
objective data it needs to be in context.
