Do I need to flip her ff?

I posted about 3 1/2 months ago about my dd. She is now 2 1/2.

She has been weighing around 33-34 on our scale with clothing. So really she has stayed about the same weight or maybe just slightly more than when I posted back at the beginning of December. But our scale doesn't seem to be very consistent from one attempt to the next. And her weight varies depending on if I weigh her on her own or with me holding her.

But at the Y last night, I weighed her on their scale. She was standing on it anyways, so what the heck. Last week I think we weighed her too (or the week before I can't remember) and she was fine - I don't remember the exact number. But last night, the Y's scale said 35.

I am a little concerned as I don't know which scale is more correct. I plan to weigh her again on ours at home to see if it is also higher than last time.

But if there is 1 scale saying 35 and 35 is the rf limit, then I probably need to think about turning her right?

Is there a way to use a dumbbell or something similar of known weight to see which scale is accurate?

If she's 35, or if you doubt it, then yes, you need to turn her. (Or buy another seat, lol.)

hmm, I weighed her at home again - still 33.

So I am not sure if the scale at the Y was just off this week or what.

I don't have any dumbbells at home, and at the Y, I don't think they would want me to take them out of the weight room.

I think I will just wait until the next time we are at the Y or have access to another scale and check with that.
