Guest guest Posted April 12, 2005 Report Share Posted April 12, 2005 Briggitt, Datreon ALWAYS gets weighed with out his clothing or a diaper. Luckily his doctor is completely wonderful, so we haven't had any problem. I hope this helps! le, mom to Datreon, 19months, 17lb 2oz, 27.5in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 12, 2005 Report Share Posted April 12, 2005 At my pediatricians office they try to do this everytime with my daughter as well. I think it is a sandard that once kids turn 1 they don't have to remove clothing to weigh them. You definately should be romoving Bobbi's clothes. I simply tell the nurse that my daughter has a growth disorder and that we need to closely monitor her weight. Most of the time they are like " oh, O.K. " Occasionally I get a nurse that seems a little irritated because then it takes longer to do the weigh; but weighing with clothes on is not an accurate weight. Good Luck.

Guest guest Posted April 12, 2005 Report Share Posted April 12, 2005 The only time the pediatrician weighs Isaac with his clothes on is when he is sick. They even make me remove his diaper to get weighed. > > Hi All > > Just a quick question, but since my daughter Bobbi turned 1 year, when > I take her to be weighed she is now weighed with clothes on, is this > the same for everyone else? > > brigitte Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 12, 2005 Report Share Posted April 12, 2005 Hi, I also ask the same though by now I don't think there is a nurse at our pedi's office who hasn't seen Emerence quite a few times by now! Just think, if Dr.'s offices gave frequent flier miles for visits we'd be swimming in them! If there is a new nurse I just tell them she has to be weighed naked on the baby scale. Any issues and I let the doctor take care of it when she comes in! , mom to 5 and Emerence 2 RSS/SGA 20Lb 11 oz 31 " > > At my pediatricians office they try to do this everytime with my daughter as well.

Guest guest Posted April 14, 2005 Report Share Posted April 14, 2005 they always have me take Dalia's clothes off, but they don't want the diaper off...I always insist and they seem bothered a bit, but no big deal - I do it every time. The only time I let her be weighed with clothes on is in the ER. It is important to have the clothes off.
