Try looking at Jan Riordan's (et al.) article in JOGNN :
Riordan, JM & Koehn, M (1997). reliability and validity testing of three
breastfeeding assessment tools. JOGNN, 26 (2), 181-187.
It speaks to the fact that we need to develop tools for just such use in
practice. Anyone working on such tools--I would appreciate a private email,
as this is exactly the type of area I will be working on in the PhD program
when I begin this fall (I am just completing my MSN and was awarded a
fellowship to pursue the PhD with emphasis on lactation!!!!!)
