Heather, Pat et al,
Pat's suggestion to use "tummy-to-tummy" for "T" sounds like a great
improvement over the "time" concept.  The thing I like best about this
particular scoring system is that it is mother rated which puts her in the
position of being responsible.  Since we don't usually go home with the moms,
this seems like a more empowering tool than an assessment made by HCP
observer.  Just my 2cc worth.
