Not to be redundant, but I feel I should contribute by saying I totally
agree with Winnie, as below. This is what the 4 of us ibclcs in my office
do.

<<I always tell a mom beforehand that the weights do not give us a full
picture of what is happening over all the feedings in a day.  It is more of
a "snapshot" of that individual feed. [snip] In a situation where baby
definitely needs to be fed and mom is working on her supply but is not
obtaining as much as baby needs, test weights can give a "ballpark" idea of
how much additional milk baby may need>>
