Is an adult home scale an accurate way to weigh a newborn, one month old?

Question

Answer

Sure but you weigh yourself. Then pick up the baby and weigh yourself again. Then subtract.

Answer

No most home scales are not accurate enough. A pound or two of variability isn’t that big for an adult, but is a huge difference for a baby.

Answer

You can weigh yourself and then weigh yourself holding the baby. It won’t be precise but can give you an idea.

Answer

The “baby” scale is to the oz which I’m not sure how accurate it would be on an adult scale. You can do the suggested method, especially if your baby is healthy already and you’re just curious.
