Heather asks,

<< There are ways of seeing if a particular feed is typical in terms of
 behaviour and  'feel' - just ask the mother about what happens the rest of
 the time. But she can't tell you whether the calorie content felt
 different, or the same..... >>

That's right -- you are right on, there, Heather.  But if a mom transfers
only, lets say, 12 ml on day 7, even if the milk is 30 cal/ounce, that
translates into only 12 calories for that feed.  Not enough in my book,
especially if punkin is only nursing 8 to 9 times a day, and in this case,
hasn't breastfed for 2.5 hours or thereabouts.  I do try to take all that
into consideration when I'm looking at a baby that is (a) constantly fussy
off the breast, and (b) isn't gaining weight and/or (c) has < 3 stools/24
hours under 5 weeks (or so) of age.

So yes, I am considering all of that....
