How can I weight my baby at home ?

Question

So my baby is on Medicaid and they don’t do one month appointments they just do like 1 week, 2 week, 2 mo, 4 mo, and so on. I’m not sure if other regular insurances only cover those too but in the mean time I would like to be able to weigh my baby ? he was 7lbs at 2 weeks. 
He’s 3 weeks and 3 days now, am going nuts trying to figure out if he’s gaining weight or not ?! 
He feels a tiny bit heavier but really I would like to know what he weighs 😐

Answer

Stand on scale with baby and write down and then put baby down and stand back on scale just you. The. Subtract the two numbers. It gives a pretty accurate reading of what baby weighs. Yes most insurance companies only cover the 2,4, etc. we are fortunate and one she has a drs appointment and then the next month she has a wic appointment. So she gets her weight every month.

Answer

My doctors office will let me just drop in and weigh her. I don’t actually see the doctor or anything, I just get to put my baby on the scale and then go home.
