Yes, Wendy, they are great visuals!!  I carry one in my lab coat and show it to my patients at the bedside. Highly effective, especially for the parents concerned that mom has "no milk."  
One word of caution though.... Be sure to share that baby's stomach grows quickly!  We have had some cases where babies have had poor weight gain because mothers did not want to "overfeed" them after seeing the newborn stomach size!  

Take care,
