Record the weight as soon as it is completed. Then the infant should be re-positioned and the weight measurement repeated and noted in writing. After the infant is removed from the scale tray, the weights should be compared and they should agree within 0.1 kg or 1/4 lb. If the difference between the weights exceeds the tolerance limit of 0.1 kg or 1/4 lb, the infant should be re-positioned and reweighed a third time. Then record the average of the two weights in closest agreement. |
Experienced measurers
will be adept at handling infants and sensitive to their response to physical
manipulation. Confidence and a sure manner will be reassuring to parents.
