Why Track Your Baby's Weight at Home In the first weeks after birth, weight gain is the clearest sign that feeding is working. A baby gaining weight consistently within the expected range is generally feeding and absorbing well; early identification of a plateau or drop means support can be sought sooner rather than waiting for the next appointment. A digital baby scale at home means parents can weigh between midwife and nurse visits without the anxiety of waiting. Baby scales are also used during breastfeeding establishment. Weighing before and after a feed shows exactly how much milk was transferred in a single session - particularly valuable when working through supply or latch concerns with a lactation consultant in the early weeks. Multi-Function Baby Scales - More Than Just a Weighing Device One of the standout features of Baby Village's baby scales range is the variety of multi-function designs available.
