Scale

Medications for kiddos are based on weight, so if we need to prescribe something, it's best to have the most accurate weight possible.

 

If you have an infant or your toddler won't stand still on a scale, DON'T WORRY! Weigh yourself on the scale, then weigh yourself holding the kiddo. Then, subtract their weight from yours.

 

It's best to weigh a baby naked/without a diaper, as it gives us a better picture we're they're at with gaining weight.
