Growth Chart For Babies

What is growth chart for babies?

A growth chart for babies is a tool that is used to track and monitor a baby's physical growth over time. It allows parents and healthcare professionals to compare a baby's growth to standard growth patterns and ensure that they are growing at a healthy rate. The growth chart typically includes measurements such as weight, length, and head circumference, and is plotted on a graph to visualize the baby's growth trajectory.

What are the types of growth chart for babies?

There are two main types of growth charts for babies: the WHO growth charts and the CDC growth charts. The WHO charts are based on data collected from breastfed babies and are used globally to monitor the growth of infants up to 24 months of age. The CDC charts, on the other hand, are based on data from formula-fed babies and are commonly used in the United States. Both charts provide percentile curves that indicate how a baby's growth compares to the average.
