Thanks for your reply Marilyn. It is 'routine' here to weigh on day 3 whether mum is diabetic or not. Personally, I think it just stresses the mums out and they begin to get anxious and then the 'rot' sets in. I was interested to hear that you only weigh on day 7, depending on the progress as you stated. I reckon that is a much more sensible regime, as breastfeeding does not always go as the textbook says.
