But they didn't do length until she went down to the nursery for her bath (where as weight was done right away in the delivery room). I think hubs even had to ask the nurse. So maybe they measured your friend's baby but just never communicated the results to the parents?</p> <p>Also... When I first read this thread title I thought it said did they measure your baby's strength and I was really intrigued as to how they would do that! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/was-your-los-length-measured-at-birth#post-455368 Wed, 19 Dec 2012 11:43:03 +0000 chopsuey 455368@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She was 21 inches </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/was-your-los-length-measured-at-birth#post-455365 Wed, 19 Dec 2012 11:42:48 +0000 lovehoneybee 455365@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep, he was 20".
