My ped said that for the purposes of tracking weight gain it is important to use same scale numbers because of the variation. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-does-your-bathroom-scale-vary-from-your-doctors#post-2453165 Mon, 08 Feb 2016 08:53:48 +0000 peachykeen 2453165@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yea, when we weigh DD at home versus the pediatrician she's always weighed less at the ped. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-does-your-bathroom-scale-vary-from-your-doctors#post-2453136 Mon, 08 Feb 2016 08:13:23 +0000 Mamaof2 2453136@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think that sounds about right +/- 1 lb </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-does-your-bathroom-scale-vary-from-your-doctors#post-2453108 Mon, 08 Feb 2016 06:41:20 +0000 Ms. RV 2453108@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Last week I took DD to the pediatrician because she had been projectile vomiting for a week. They weighed her (naked, immediately following a poop) and she came in at 14.75 lbs. She had weighed 15lbs in a diaper at another doctor over a month before that, and when I weighed her by holding her in my arms on the bathroom scale then subtracting my weight I was getting 15.6 lbs the week before the doctor read 14.75. The doctor chalked it up to "difference between scales" that her weight was less than what it was a month ago. I'm skeptical. I think she was that dehydrated because she was barely eating for a week. Have you noticed a huge difference between scales? Now that she is eating normally I'm reading 16 lbs at home. </p>
