Growth Charts

[Guest guest]

I think any ped or doctors office will hand out emptly charts if

asked. I have always charted all my daughter's measurements from all

doctors visits on the standard chart, and even though she is way

below the 3rd percentile we can see that her curve is following the

average on in shape, for example growth velocity slowing down after

six months. Also, the weight vs height charts should be useful even

for RSS kids. Even though my daughter is way below any percentile,

she is quite stable near the 50% in the weight vs height chart.

I found a cool growth chart calculator that has a preemie chart (I

know that all of our kids aren't preemies but at least they are

plottable on them so you can see what their curve is). All you do

is type in their info and it automatically plots them on different

charts.

It's interesting if nothing else!
