Re: IMPORTANT!!: New Growth Charts Announced by WHO

[MrsKirky]

Are breastfed babies really smaller?  They always seem to be so cutely chubby! 

This confirms what I was thinking about DS - he is really tall!  Seems to be 99th percentile for height.  He seems to be above average for weight as well, but not as high a percentage as height.  He's look like a rail if he was average weight for his height! 

Thanks for the info!

I've been fretting that dr keeps telling me dd is around 2 to 3% and actually she's over the -2 line which I guess must be the 25%. I thought it strange I knew so many babies under the 10% line when if the charts were going to make sense only 1 baby in 10 would be.

well if these are the new charts we really are in trouble my DS is well over the chart for his weight and just over for his height

do they have a chart for premmies?

Wow my DD low on all the ranges, my DS#2 is normal except for his lenght were he is just below the +2 but my DS#1 in on the -2 on all the ranges for the 5 year old but he is 6.5 years so he is probably more in the -3 range for all of them. I am scared now he eats none stop but on the old charts he was allows under the normal and even was on the very lowest range back then so I guess this is normal for him.

What a relief for our DS. I never knew those charts data was based on formula fed babies.
