I totally agree. Still, in this case a mother monitors her child’s overall development. She is not obsessing about how much the baby has eaten during a particular feeding.

I still would like mothers to count feedings and wet and dirty diapers in the early days, until it is clear that the baby is gaining. Sometimes new moms are fooled because babies sleep so much, and they think everything is fine when it’s not. Once the baby is used to getting enough food, the mother will know when something changes (and she should be prepared for the growth spurts). She’ll know her baby better and her instincts will be more reliable.
But at any rate, you can’t measure the milk easily, but you can see from the baby how things are going.

Beautiful application of that Talmudic concept
