Baby’s First Year: What Every New Parent Needs to Know: 63 total pages.

or may not be as accurate as the measurements your doctor takes, but they can provide a certain degree of insight into the growth of your baby and many new parents have found it to be a fascinating way to participate in the parenting process. Here are some tips that can help you, as inquisitive parents, track your baby's growth at home using commercially available scales and other measuring devices. If baby is too small to stand upright on the scale, you can try using this procedure: · With your baby in your arms, step onto a standard bathroom scale. · Make note of the weight displayed on the scale and write it down on a piece of paper. · Put your baby down and step onto the scale alone this time. · Make note of the weight displayed and subtract this number from the combined weight of you and your baby. The resulting number is your baby's weight. To measure your baby's length all you need to do is lay her down on a flat surface (her changing table is a great place for this task) and stretch a measuring tape from head to toes.
