Newborn baby being weighed
Newborn baby being weighed in a hospital. The scales show a weight of 3.82 kilograms, which is a healthy weight for a newborn baby. A newborn babys weight is recorded so that the weight of the baby can be tracked as it develops over the coming months. A decrease in weight, or slow increase in weight, can be an indication of health problems. The weights of the babies are also used to produce medical statistics for the population of an area.

This print captures a tender moment in a hospital as a newborn baby is being weighed. The scales proudly display a healthy weight of 3.82 kilograms, indicating the promising start to this little one's life. Weighing newborn babies is an essential practice that allows healthcare professionals to monitor their development in the coming months. The significance of recording a newborn's weight cannot be overstated, as any decrease or slow increase could potentially signal underlying health issues. These measurements also contribute to valuable medical statistics for population analysis within specific regions. Taken in 2006 at Maternity House 5 in Rostov, Russia, this image showcases the intersection of technology and human care. The modern weighing equipment exemplifies the advancements made in neonatal medicine during the 21st century.
