We had the American Red Cross scale. It was worth it to me. After coming home from the NICU we kept a log of C's weight. We would weigh her before every bath. Yes, we were a little obsessed. She's kind of outgrown it now. She moves too much to get a very accurate reading.
I hope the gtube does the trick for H!! We were really close to getting a gtube at one point.
We don't have one but when we brought C home, her pedi said she would write a prescription for one if we wanted it. She said insurance would cover a rental fee from an LC if she presrcibed it. So that may be something to look into.
We didn't do it because we ended up in her office several times a week for the first 6 weeks because of reflux so we kept up with her weight that way.
I'd totally buy one if I were you. See if your doctor can write a script though. Surely with his history it should be covered (at least via rental) through your durable medical equipment coverage.
