Jay,
Exactly. I "tare" the scale with a clean diaper on it, put that diaper 
on the baby, and weigh the baby. Then the baby is reweighed with the 
same diaper. Then anything that comes out is (usually) caught in the 
diaper and reweighed along with the baby, but one still as a naked 
weight as one has subtracted the weight of the diaper from the scale at 
the outset.
