I was unable to download the information on this website for estimating weight. I have never been good at math, so could someone please tell me how to estimate weight without all the mumbo jumbo(i.e grafs,charts and tables) There has to be an easier way to explain it. I looked at other tables on line, and it was all greek to me. Thanks, Barb

There is some math no matter what... it's just part of the
game... but it's easy, take 3 measurement add them together that it called OTT... use the table ... find your OTT on the table look at the associated weight which is just a estimate. actual weights vary.

If you buy one of the Lanevin books, the whole charts are in there, with an explaination of how to measure.

If you want to get away from the math...use the Circumference estimator. Get the tape from Don Langevin, measure the circumference and it gives you an estimated weight. It is not as accurate as OTT, but keeps you in the loop on gerowth rates from day to day.
