This is so simple that I don't mean to insult any one babies don't need to be weighed at birth the next day if the parents want to know is better also believe it or not I now suggest all mothers in the private system have their babe weighed on the SAME scales ie wait till they go to PN ward .I have proved that at one part priv hosp in melb there is a 300grm diff in LW and PN scales . Look at the baby is it alert and feeding whats happening in the nappy dept and forget the scales .
