<<  When the
 Journal of Human Lactation advertises a scale for weighing babies, why
shouldn't
 others follow suit?   I nearly DIED when I first saw *that* advert, and it
has
 seriously coloured my perception of the journal. >>

But the JHL is a professional journal for professionals.  As an IBCLC with a
fairly extensive practice, I have a scale in my office.  I would expect that
other IBCLCs would too -- just as I would expect a scale in the
pediatrician's or nurse practitioner's office.  I do not see that telling all
bf moms that they need a scale is anywhere near the same as advertising a
professional scale in the JHL.
