Hello! Long time lurker, first time posting :)
Saw this on the TV show Shark Tank, it's essentially a $300 baby scale/ changing table that links to an app on your phone (so you now can track EVERYTHING and really get neurotic!!):

Wondering if people are starting to see this pop up in their practice yet? As if the apps alone aren't bad enough!
The only positive I can see is for mothers who actually need to do pre-post feeding weights, but from the product fine print it only gets down to 10 grams sensitivity, so limited help there. But that is how it advertises itself (as being able to track feedings).
