It is not at all uncommon among the rural Mississippi clients I serve for  
mothers to take their baby to the Post Office for weekly weights...
IMO, a peer counselor is much more qualified to weigh a baby than the  
postal clerk.

Subject: weighing babies (was: WIC peer  counseling)

When I had my babies in the late 1960s and early 1970s, I  recall hearing 
of mothers who would take their babies grocery shopping every  week in the 
same clothing and weigh them in the produce scale.
