Now babies have their own &#8220;smart scale&#8221; that lets parents &#8220;monitor, understand, and share&#8221; their kids&#8217; growth.</p>
<p>And you thought all those baby pics on Facebook were annoying.</p>
<p>The <a href="http://www.withings.com" target="_blank">Withings</a> Smart Baby Scale &#8212; the first-ever Internet-connected baby and toddler scale &#8212; comes armed with Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and the must-have accoutrement of every &#8220;smart&#8221; gadget these days: a companion app. Parents place the baby on the scale, and all the normal vitals show up automagically on the iOS app, or alternatively on a website.</p>
<p><a href="http://venturebeat.com/2013/01/17/this-smart-baby-scale-automatically-updates-facebook-with-your-newborns-vital-stats/screen-shot-2013-01-17-at-9-34-14-am/" rel="attachment wp-att-606325"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-606325" alt="Screen Shot 2013-01-17 at 9.34.14 AM" src="http://venturebeat.files.wordpress.com/2013/01/screen-shot-2013-01-17-at-9-34-14-am.png?w=220&#038;h=410" width="220" height="410" /></a>Once digital, baby&#8217;s stats can be sent to doctors, pediatricians, or family members. And, reminiscent of Facebook&#8217;s frictionless sharing, the scale can be set to automatically update Facebook or Twitter with every last detail of how many ounces Junior gained this past week.</p>
<p>The French company, which also makes a &#8220;Smart Baby Monitor&#8221; that shows you live video of your child on your iPhone or Android smartphone, won a CES Innovation Award last week in Las Vegas for design and engineering.</p>
<p>Pricing was not announced, but the product will be available in the second quarter of 2013. If you have Facebook friends with newborns, get ready for the onslaught.</p>
