It's interesting isn't it??!!!  I seem to only be able to register a baby's weight in pounds and ounces, too!!! Whenever I get told a baby's weight in kgs... I always ask "what's that in pounds??"
I'm 32 yrs old and definately learnt metric in school... but for babies - I can only talk imperial !!!! 
cheers,
Nicole

I have to agree......I learnt metric at school and I tally everything in metric except.........baby weights!  It's like it is the special system for babies!  I can't even remember the weight in kg's of my last baby.  He was 8lb 8oz.

Interestingly, even though I trained in England in 1972 and we worked in kilograms with babies weights I still relate everything in pounds and ounces. Kilo's just don't seem to have the same meaning!!
