Instructions for Weighing
Considerations to follow prior to test-weighing:
• Diaper should not be changed between the “before”
and “after” weights.
• Baby should wear the same clothing for “before” and
“after” weights.
• Use a bib, but do NOT include it in “before” and “after”
weights.
• To improve accuracy, bundle active infants and verify
that all blankets, clothing, and extremities are inside the
basket and not touching the side of the scale.
• Record weights in grams only.*
*Note – Grams is closely equivalent to milliliters (mL) or cubic centimeters (cc). Meier PP, et al.
