good point and well said.

I will be using that phrase when appropriate.... or turning it into a
question for other caregivers to ponder, ie ...."what really needs
intervention here, the bf or your anxiety about the bf?"

a milder version that I would be more likely to use in real life would be:
"yes, i understand your concerns, lets figure out if the bf really needs
intervention  or is it just our concerns that needs to be addressed with
reassurances based on accurate evaluation and assessment?"
