Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
precision of test weighing, using a double-check weighing method for 2 scales in 2 groups: intake up to 20cc and 20cc and more	—

Secondary

Measure	Time frame
-Accuracy of test weighing, using a double-check weighing method for 2 scales in 2 groups: intake up to 20cc and 20cc and more. -accuracy and precision including and excluding infants with monitor leads or intravenous lines -Accuracy and precision including and excluding infants who vomited, or where milk was spilled. -The influence of the childs state on accuracy and precision of test weighing. -The influence of the pre feed weight on the precision of test weighing. -The influence of the intake as a continuous variable on the precision of test weighing.	—
