Hi all 
I understand that if you are going to measure something then accuracy and
precision are important.  My question is about what we do with the
information once we have it.  I have not yet seen an answer to that
question.  I am truly not trying to be churlish, I just don't understand.  
Susan's faker (the one who appeard not to be feeding at the breast but in
fact was) was surely having 5-8 heavy wet disposable nappies (diapers) in 24
hrs and regular soft bowel movements.  He wouldn't take the supplement
offered and was presumably satisfied after feeding. I can't see what having
a measurement of his intake adds to the clear signs of sufficiency.
Neither would any measurement have satisfied the doctor in the second case
who displayed ignorance so profound that if he was presented with a number
he would have declared that milk was of poor quality ...
But neither of these stories address the issue of knowing how many mLs a
baby 'should' be taking from the breast in 24 hours.  We may be able to
measure with utmost precision and accuracy that a baby takes say 55mLs in a
feed.  Now who can tell me if that is enough? (Since we know that intake is
static between 1 month and 6 months, lets assume the baby is between 1 and 6
months old.)
