Thanks, Ami. Really, it's just to have a number that records the direction in which things are going - not to record the weight gain of a single feeding (or even usually a day). I also really appreciate the message that it sends about scales and measures generally - that they're only confirming what we've already observed in the baby (hopefully!). *********************************************** Archives: http://community.lsoft.com/archives/LACTNET.html To reach list owners: [log in to unmask] Mail all list management commands to: [log in to unmask] COMMANDS: 1.
