<<I want to do a survey.  In how many of your hospitals are  you weighing
babies in prone position on the scale as opposed to supine or  side
lying.  They cry less and there is less flailing and stress  signs, and
because they are lying still, it is easier to get a  weight.  
I started showing this to the nurses  today>>
 
Esther,
 
What a great idea!!  I'm going to start doing that myself.  (So  count me in 
as a non-hospital person cottoning to your idea.)  Just because  we have 
always done it supine doesn't mean we can't change when an idea makes  sense.
 
I can't believe you have to do an inservice.  My goodness!  As  I've said 
before, *common* is the least utilized of the senses.
 
Geeze -- wish I'd thought of weighing babies prone.
 
Thanks!!!
