Jeanette wrote about using test weighing and said she does not use this with everyone. Well, I do and I personally think test weighing is very very important. It often "cuts to the chase" on what the problem is and saves much time trying to assess what is going on. With the right scale, one that measures down to 2 grams accuracy. Now, I don't help "normal" situations, only crisis and problem situations. And I want to know, really need to know, what intake baby has had in order to make a care plan. So, perhaps if I saw normal,  I would say the same as Jeanette.
