IN A BOX: It teaches mothers to trust their instincts even less than they already do, right? I'm a bit beside myself!

Yeah I'm really not a sure how this thing could even work? Weigh the breast? Or use ultrasound to guesstimate the density of the liquids? How would that account for flatter chested moms whose breasts don't stick out much? Or the diff between blood within the breast and milk fluids. Um I'm flabbergasted at the idea

A quick google search shows that it was developed in Israeli has just started to be marketed in the us for about $200.

And that the blogs about it are paid placement ads.

Now this is just about the dumbest thing I've seen in a while. @amyg, taught me that breasts make milk while nursing is happening, they don't serve to store milk between feedings. Soo... I'm not sure how this gizmo is going to account for that.

$200!? A fool and his money... (Or in this case, hers.)
