Hi Lisa,

Was she weighed on the same scale each time?  And when were the scales last
calibrated?  I think the first step is discerning whether there's even truly
a problem. If she looks healthy and your ped isn't otherwise
concerned...maybe it's just bad scales creating a difference that isn't even
there...

Congrats on the new baby, btw! =)
