Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
The primary outcome of this study is the degree of accuracy of the weighing result set against the actual milk intake.	—

Secondary

Measure	Time frame
Will devices, which are connected to the neonate during test weighing (monitor wires, pulse oximeter, infusion lines), affect the accuracy of the test weighing?	—
