My daughter was tipping the scales this october at her 3 yo check up at about 34.5 pounds with her clothes on. Also around that time she got weighed in a different office as well and was about 33lbs on that one.
Well i turned her ffing at that point b/c she was so close to the 35lb limit on her tf. then today i weighed her on my moms bathroom scale (not a digital but a regular one) and the needle pointed right to 30lbs when she had clothes on (no boots but a good layering of clothes). So now I dont know if I can turn her back or not? should i trust this non-digital scale? can i take her to the drs. just to get her wieghed again? id love to turn her back b/c i wanted her to make it to age 4 originally anyway!

i am sure you can walk in to your dr.s office and weigh her, i would.
I don't know where you live but here in the north east it would be totaly worth it to RF for the winter

Can you weigh her at the post office? I've heard of people doing that and I figure the scales are accurate.

I would just drop in at your Dr office and weigh her. I would not trust the dial type scale. My parents have one and it's very inaccurate, by 5lb or more (it's also very old). Our digital scale at home is always withing .5-1lb of what the Dr scale is so I trust that one to be pretty accurate.

Personally, I trust my home scale more than that at the doctor's office. But... if it was the same at 2 different places, I guess that'd be different. I just know at my pedi's, the scale tends to be off for various reasons.
