We use it in GE Centricity and I think it gives a good representation of the feeding, however I don’t agree points should be taken off if the breast is filling? Why ? I think that is a good thing! I think for ibclc’s we don’t really need it, but for others evaluation a feed, it helps them to see what makes a good feeding or not, and what sort of things we are looking for.

I had my own little scoring system in columns, which I noted at each encounter, and understood it perfectly:
                        Breasts /                          nipples /                     milk production /                    position-latch / suck: swallow
          e.g.  large, pendulous  /            everts after RPS                  ++ transitional /                    CrCr – excellent /      +++
