It weighs in fine 5 g increments up to 20 kg, with an automatic and manual hold function that captures a reading once baby settles — so you can keep track of your baby's weight at home without wrestling a wriggling body onto a fidgety scale.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA curved weighing surface cradles baby comfortably and safely during each weigh-in, while a large, backlit-style LCD (23 mm digit height) shows the reading clearly in kilograms, pounds or ounces. Non-slip rubber feet keep the scale stable on the floor, and it's easy to wipe clean between uses. It's a practical option if a clinic or midwife has asked you to keep an eye on weight at home, or if you'd simply like to follow along between visits.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow the hold function works\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eWeighing a moving baby is the main challenge this scale is built around, and it offers two ways to lock in a number:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAuto Hold:\u003c\/strong\u003e The scale establishes baby's weight as soon as they're still enough for an exact reading. Once set, the flashing \"HOLD\" stops and the weight stays on screen for a further 20 seconds. Try to calm a wriggling baby rather than touching them, as any contact affects the measurement.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMechanical Hold:\u003c\/strong\u003e If baby is moving too much for Auto Hold, press the HOLD button and the scale fixes a reading within 3 seconds, displaying it for a further 20 seconds.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTare function:\u003c\/strong\u003e Weigh baby on a blanket or hand towel without it affecting the result. Place the towel on the scale before switching on; if the covering weighs more than 50 g, use the TARE button to reset the display to zero before weighing.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAutomatic switch-off:\u003c\/strong\u003e The scale powers down after 20 seconds of inactivity to save the batteries.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAccuracy and what the numbers mean\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe BY 80 reads in increments of 5 g (0.005 kg) across a range of 0.05 kg to 20 kg. Beurer states a repeatability tolerance of +\/- 1% for repeated measurements taken in direct succession under the same conditions, and an absolute precision of +\/- 200 g compared with a calibrated weight. It's worth remembering that a home scale supports a monitoring routine rather than replacing clinical assessment — a single reading doesn't diagnose healthy growth or feeding, and how your baby's weight is interpreted is best left to your clinic or healthcare professional, alongside the Road to Health Book.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSetting it up correctly\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlace the scale on an even, hard surface — not on carpet — as this is crucial for a correct measurement.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSwitch it on and wait until the display reads \"0.000 kg\".\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIf you're using a covering, tare it first, then gently place baby on the curved surface.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLet baby settle so Auto Hold can capture the reading, or press HOLD for Mechanical Hold.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\u003cp\u003eIf an \"Err\" message appears, the scale may not be on a flat, stable surface, or the 20 kg capacity has been exceeded — move it onto a level floor without carpet and re-tare. Strong electromagnetic fields, such as induction hobs and mobile phones, can also affect precision, so keep those clear during weighing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBest For\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eBeurer BY 80 Baby Scale\u003c\/strong\u003e is a great option for parents who:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWant to follow their baby's weight at home as part of an agreed monitoring routine\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeed fine 5 g resolution and a hold function to manage a squirming baby\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrefer to weigh baby wrapped in a blanket or towel using a tare function\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt may not be the best fit if you:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeed a scale for weighing babies or toddlers over 20 kg\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAre looking for a clinically validated or calibrated device for professional or weighted-feed use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePandylane Pro Tip:\u003c\/strong\u003e Weighing under the same conditions each time — same surface, same time of day, baby undressed or in the same light covering — gives you a fairer comparison between readings, since clothing, feed timing and movement can all nudge the number.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRuns on 2x 1.5V AA batteries (included).
