Thanks for the comment about sunglasses.  But it only applies if
everything is going well.  What you say about this particular baby and
mother does not really fit with all going well.  I do not trust scales
as much as many.  The doctor's scale is different from the hospital
scale and the weight may not be as good as it should be.

Observing the feeding, yes.  Fixing the latch, yes.  Using compression,
yes.  Switching back and forth, yes.  Fenugreek and blessed thistle,
yes.  All reasonable stratagems.  If the baby is truly gaining weight
well, no need to worry about the green stools.

A lot of that can be done over the phone.
