Accurately measuring infant milk intake during breastfeeding is
important in the management of hospitalized infants, as well as in
addressing breastfeeding concerns with healthy infants at home.
In the hospital, knowledge of milk intake improves clinical diagnosis
of feeding problems while providing essential information for precise
supplementation of infants at risk for under or over consumption

In the home, knowledge of milk intake ensures feeding adequacy and
enhances maternal satisfaction

.
Clinical indices of milk intake during breastfeeding, such as duration of
sucking, audible swallowing, and presence of maternal milk ejection,
are not accurate replacements for the evidence based practice of
test weighing before and after feeding. Using test weights may also
increase maternal satisfaction when compared to using clinical indices
to ensure adequate feeding
