Magda,

I agree with you. While there are medically fragile dyads that may need a 
high degree of intervention and tool use, we must continually assess our 
varied situations, improve BF support whenever we can, challenge ourselves 
and our profession to ensure we are helping and not hindering mothers and 
babies.

<<  If scales and other approaches which, yes, may
well be needed in your circumstances, become the default way of practicing
the profession of LC, then what are the implications of INTRODUCING these in
our differing cultures where we may need different devices and approaches,
and where the use of these tools may take us some steps, if not backwards,
at least sidewards?  If LC is to be an influential international profession,
this worries me.   >>
