Ann Perry, RN, IBCLC of Boston, MA states:

  "I have and use the "belly balls" from Ameda.  A picture can be so  powerful 
sometimes verses a verbal description.  What I see fault in the  belly balls is 
that the stomach size or capacity is not what is really at the  root of what 
babies want or need in the first few days; it is about the  physiological 
norm."  

 
Your entire post is well-stated, Ann. I think everyone should read it so that she has a good perspective on the use of & defense of the belly balls.
