I have a comment, and a question.  Back when I was going to pediatricians' offices, it was quite common for there to be discrepancies between different baby scales.  There was a time when I was able to save the severely traumatized FTT baby I had adopted a month before from being hospitalized on IVs, by asking that she  be weighed on the same scale she had been weighed on the day before.  The difference between the two scales in that office was 6 ounces.  Since then, I've heard of many other cases like that, many where the differences prompted supplementation and a blow to a mother's confidence in her ability to breastfeed her baby.  My question is, are most medical facilities now using more accurate scales than they were 10-20 years ago?
