Well put Rachel! I share your fears.  Breastfeeding is a dynamic process.  That's the beauty of it!  The quantifying and qualifying, while it may be scientific, just feeds into our control-obsessed, perfectionist-based culture, that is anxiety ridden as a result.  As we (professionals) may find the information interesting or reaffirming -companies will use it inappropriately to market & sell their products, not to mention,  giving moms one more thing to obsess about.
