Andrew writes: " Instead of addressing the real issue, adequate breastmilk & proper breastfeeding, you simply "ignore" the facts because you don't want to know the facts because you might not like what you see." Yes, Andrew, let's address the real issue. Weight is only one piece of the information needed in assessment of adequate breastfeeding. And any weight is only as good as the scale it's obtained from, the person operating the scale, and the person recording the information. Like any other piece of objective data it needs to be in context. Gail Gail Hertz, MD, IBCLC Pediatric Resident author of the little green breastfeeding book - disclaimer: owner of Pocket Publications
