This software summary explains that the pediatrician will measure the weight of a baby using a calibrated scale while the baby is completely naked.
Weight is measured using a baby scale, which can come in electronic or traditional beam-type versions. Regardless of the type, the baby scale typically features a stainless steel cradle for holding the baby. Once calibrated, the doctor or nurse places the entirely naked baby on the scale and records the weight. Once the baby is able to stand on their own, the pediatrician may switch to a standard upright scale.
Length measurements are generally taken while the baby is lying down. The doctor may use a tape measure, similar to what is used at home, or utilize a special baby-measuring tool. This tool consists of a headboard and movable footboard, allowing for the most accurate results possible.
Overall, this software provides a thorough and precise way for pediatricians to track a baby's growth and development. With both weight and length measurements available, doctors can gain a comprehensive understanding of the baby's progress over time.
