Guest guest Posted March 16, 2006 Report Posted March 16, 2006 I ask my clients for a folded receiving blanket to put on my scale, and zero it out... That's what I do too, although recently a mom put down one of those large soft diapers which are meant more for burp clothes (the very soft pretty type that wouldn't be too practical for cloth diapering). When I complimented her on it, she gave it to me, as it was brand new and she "had too many." Sounds silly, but I'm kind of treasuring it, because this baby responded so well to (what seemed to me to be) the slightest correction in position and latch. One of those times when the mom looks up, surprised, and says: "that doesn't hurt at all!" He went from not gaining to gaining an ounce a day! So I've washed it, and have it in my travel bag, "just in case," plus it's also a sweet reminder of when things went really well. Helen New IBCLC, but longtime LLLL Quote
