Why do you need thm?

can't you use normal scales?

I have some I don't need any more and had been wondering what to do with them. Do you want them?

Lesang - dd was premature and was gaining fairly well but has recently slowed/even lost weight at last visit. I find it depressing taking her to clinic every week and want to weigh her at home. I don't think normal scales are accurate enough for babies.

Muttonchop - what ones do you have and how much do you want for them?

Funnily enough I rang the clinic before I read your replies and she said a mother had donated some and did I want them! I have no idea whether they work but they are free so I am v tempted to get them.

That conjures up an interesting image I am sure you are right but I don't want to be faffing about peering over myself with a squirming baby iyswim.

Oh I'm sorry, that made no sense at all!

I weighed myself holding them, then weighed myself alone, and subtracted my weight from the combined weight to leave just the pups weight. Worked well with digital scales if done at the same time of day.

Baby clinics are very depressing! Hope you find some and your daughter continues to do well
