very helpful December 21, 2007
T. Long (CT USA)
When our baby started spitting up and vomiting when he was 2 months old, we were so worried about if he got enough milk. Having this scale really helped to soothe our anxiety. Also we can plot his weight on a growth chart to watch his development, rather than waiting for the regular checks at the hospital.
If your baby is a spitter, I would recommend this scale to you.
Great scale for the money December 2, 2007

I used this to roughly estimate my daughter's intake when we were encountering milk supply difficulties. It helped assure me over a period of a few months that we were improving. I initially rented a much more accurate and expensive scale until I knew we were doing better then purchased this so I could keep tabs in general. (Note: if you have milk supply difficulties please see a lactation consultant for assistance.)
It was easy to use when she was an infant. Now that she's a toddler it's hard to get her to stand still on the base unit so I've actually packed this up and stored it until she's less squirmy.
great for pets September 22, 2007

I do the "great bunny weigh in" on this scale. I have pet rabbits that I monitor their weight monthly for good health reasons. This scale has a digital display with pounds and ounces which is great since their weight changes in small amounts. It allows you to put a towel on it and "zero out" so you know you are getting an acurate reading of the weight. It is a perfect size for a small pet (probably up to 15-20lbs. It is not too large which makes it easy for storing. I am happy I purchased this scale!
 An accurate scale even for littlies September 15, 2007

We used this scale to relieve our anxiety about a little one's weight gain. We found it to be very close to the doctor's scale, and for our peace of mind it has been worth every penny.
When weighing babies keep in mind that a baby's weight does not increase every day, and also may vary within a day by a few ounces.
Many digital scales (and for that matter, most consumer-product digital measuring devices including thermometers) do not actually measure the same precision as their markings - for example, thermometers marked in tenths of degrees may provide a reading within 1 or 2 whole degrees of the temperature - which is completely pointless when one needs to track small variations! Happily, this scale seems to provide consistent measurements within +/- one-half ounce.
Perfect for my needs September 1, 2007

My baby lost too much weight starting out and was slow to gain it back - we initially rented a scale from a lactation consultant but at a cost of $5 a day it wasn't an effective long-term solution. This scale was perfect - we didn't need something accurate to the tenth of an ounce - just something to let us know if the weight was going up adequately. The zero-out feature was great for factoring in the weight of a diaper and a onsie, and the "hold" feature was great for a wiggling baby. The price was awesome as well - some of the scales we looked at were anywhere from a few hundred to over a thousand dollars, and this one has the added benefit of being able to grow with our child to use when he's a toddler as well!
