I was wondering where the best place to get a scale was? We had some suprise babies and I have looked just about everywhere for a scale, and haven't found one.
I got mine off ebay. The only advice I have is to be sure it weighs in no more than 2g increments... and it you can find one that plugs in, its better! When the batteries start to go out you get some weird readings!
Go to Walmart or Target and look in the food section (Bed Bath and Beyond sells them as well). You can find a digital scale there that should have both grams and ounces. I bought mine years ago for around $30ish and its still working great.
