Why is it important to weigh your baby?
It’s crucial that you weigh your baby on a regular basis; it’s recommended that you should do this at least once a week up until 5-6 months. But do you really have time to go to the doctors to weigh your baby every week for 5 months? Along with juggling household chores, your older children and maybe whipping your partner into shape too, it might seem impossible! At least with these baby weighing scales you can weigh your cherub in the comfort of your own home – and you don’t have to get out of your pyjamas, result!
What’s featured on the Beurer BY80 Baby Scale?
With the Beurer baby scale, you can see for yourself if your little angel is losing weight or gradually stacking on that adorable, healthy chub.

Our guide to your baby’s weight
Are you feeling a bit bewildered about your baby’s weight? That’s okay, it happens to every mother! As long as your baby is gradually putting on weight then they should be healthy, but if you need a helping hand here’s our quick guide to your baby’s weight:
1 – 6 months old
From now until your sweetheart is 6 months old, it is likely that they will grow an inch a month and gain between 5-7 ounces (oz) a week. That roughly equals to 2 pounds (lbs) a month until they are around 6/7 months old. With the Beurer baby scales you can monitor your baby’s weight both in ounces and in pounds.
6 months
By this point your baby should be double their new-born weight, and every week they should grow half an inch and gain between 3-5 ounces a week, which is a steady 2 pounds a month.
11 – 12 months
Believe me, these months FLY by and your sweetheart will already be a whole year old! Now they should have tripled in their weight by their first birthday and they’ll be taking the first steps, these months will be the biggest rewards for all your super hard work!
You’re doing great!
