Product Reviews of Salter 914 Electronic Baby and Toddler Scale
Product Review: Great Aid for Breastfeeding
Summary: 5 Stars
With both my daughters I had a rocky time breastfeeding. It took time and a lot of guidance from lactation doctors/consultants for them to regain their birthweight and continue to breastfeed. The proof is with the pudding, i.e. if your baby is gaining weight, then you're breastfeeding OK. With the older, every couple days I'd have to drag myself to the doctor's office to use the baby scale. When the same problem happened with my younger baby, I got smart and purchased this scale. Immediately I was able to monitor whether the lactation consultant's advice was indeed working and whether my baby was continuing to make progress - all from the comfort of home.
All-in-all a great scale for a great price. It is accurate to the half an ounce - which means give or take slight margins of error it could be an ounce off. However with newborns, even a half ounce makes a difference whether your baby is gaining or stagnating. So you have to give it a day or two to confirm the weight readings.
Product Review: Great Baby & Toddler Scale
Summary: 5 Stars
I highly recommend this baby/toddler scale. It is accurate, easy to use and read, adaptable for growing babies & children, and made very well. We gave this as a baby gift. The breast-feeding mother has told us how great it is to use & keep track of the weight increments the baby is gaining & compares closely to the pediatrician's scale.Product Review: Great Buy
Summary: 5 Stars
For the price, this scale is unbeatable. As a breastfeeding mom whose baby's weight plateaued, I was going to rent a scale from a lactation consultant but decided to make this purchase instead and am quite pleased. It is not so sensitive as to get a super accurate reading from pre- and post-feeds (though using kg instead of lbs is more helpful). Overall, it is more than adequate to measure my baby's growth every few days or week.Product Review: Great Gift
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased two scales for baby gifts. Although I haven't given them to the new parents yet, I know they will love them because I had the same scale for my three young children. It worked great. You can use it to monitor the weight of your tiny baby when you are breastfeeding and it is difficult to know how much they are taking in. Then, as they get older you use it as a normal scale. It is very accurate. I would weigh my kids before taking them to the doctor and it would match up with the scale readings from the doctor's office. I've even used the scale to weigh my mail because it tells you the ounces. Great product.Product Review: Great Product
Summary: 5 Stars
Very easy to set up and use. Very reliable. As a mother of a preemie who was initially very concerned about weight gain, it's a great product.
