Baby Scales

Use of scales to determine breastmilk intake can be helpful and reassuring to mothers who have concerns about their baby's weight gain, or whose babies have specialist medical needs (tongue tie, cleft lip or palate, premature or sick baby). They should be used in consultation with your healthcare professional and only as a part of the "big picture". Do note that breastfed babies have slower weigth gain than their formula-fed counterparts.
