Double newborn weighing: what is it?
Double weighing of the newborn , an approach considered the gold standard until a few decades ago, involves, as the expression itself says, weighing the newborn, preferably unclothed, before and after breastfeeding or administering formula with a bottle.
As recalled in this video by Doctor Maria Chiara Alvisi, independent midwife and author and protagonist of the video course on breastfeeding that you can find at the end of the paragraph, this is a habit that is certainly not functional to the management of the newborn's routine.
To realize this, just think about inserting it, every day, several times a day.
This is a waste of mental and physical energy that certainly does not benefit the mother's well-being and, consequently, the serenity of the newborn.
Double weighing , in fact, often increases the state of anxiety that, in many cases, is part of the daily life of the new mother, whose life, with the arrival of the little one, is completely turned upside down and needs to be reorganized.
