1. (informal, medicine) An X-ray of the entire body of an infant.
   • 2010, Rob A. C. Bilo, Forensic Aspects of Pediatric Fractures:

     Hereby it should first be established that in young infants the so-called babygram (consisting of one anterior-posterior view and one lateral view) of the skeleton should be considered obsolete and an error of judgement.

   • 2014, Marta C. Cohen, The Pediatric and Perinatal Autopsy Manual with DVD-ROM, page 235:

     An antero-posterior total-body radiograph (babygram) is most helpful. However, due to contractures or post mortem stiffening of the body, a postero-anterior babygram may be preferable to antero-posterior babygram.
