The height, weight, and head circumference of a child can be compared to the expected parameters of children of the same age and sex to determine whether the child is growing appropriately.
Growth charts are not intended to be used as a sole
diagnostic instrument.Instead, growth charts are tools that contribute to forming an overall clinical impression for the child being measured.
Find the right age and gender for your baby.
Length is measured when the baby is lying down. You can find your baby's position on the
growth chart.If a baby is on the 5th percentile for height and weight, it means that 95% of babies are taller and heavier than she is. A baby on the 90th percentile for height and weight is taller and heavier than 90% of other babies.
These are the growth charts that can be used to plot your child's current growth, and anticipate future growth.
The charts show the average growth patterns of baby. There is a
wide range of what's normal. Use these charts to track your own
baby's growth and bring any questions or concerns to your baby's
health care provider. |
