Measurement Operation Method
For measuring the length of the infant, first, we need to lay the infant on the measuring mat. The infant's head must rest against the head stop of the measuring unit. With the help of one hand, slowly push the foot stop in the direction of the infant's feet and use the other hand to hold the infant in position. Stretch the infant's legs by gently pressing the knees down to the mat and rest the foot stop at a right- angle to the soles of the infant's feet. Finally, read the body length at the marking on the measuring unit.
