What Is the Infant Weighing Sling Used For?
In a baby clinic or outreach session the scale is hung from a beam or tripod, the empty sling is clipped on by both straps, and the pointer is brought to zero before the undressed infant is laid in the centre of the fabric. Because the material is non-elastic, the baby does not bounce or sag unevenly, which helps the pointer settle for a clean reading. The square panel cradles a newborn lying flat, so it suits the first months of life, before an infant can sit up in weighing trousers.
Nursing schools and public-health training centres also use the sling to teach correct infant weighing technique. Programmes preparing laboratory equipment tenders in India for outreach teams often order several slings, so that one can be washed while another is in use. Wash at no more than 40°C so the fabric stays within its stated shrinkage limit.
