Baby Growth and Development Chart is the centerpiece of your child’s health record. Your healthcare provider will track your baby’s height and weight on a percentile chart to measure his growth. Over time, your provider will be able to see whether your baby is growing at the expected rate. However baby growth charts may not be as accurate as you might think it is. Baby growth charts can be an excuse for some pediatricians to discourage moms that the baby is not getting enough breast milk and to supplement him with formula milk.
Some pediatricians might be using an old chart as to why they may come up with inaccurate findings. 2006 and above charts are the newer ones that have some more accurate information. Although still, a lot of factors must be taken in to consideration when measuring baby’s growth. Genetics play a big part in your baby’s growth as your background make up a big factor of him.
Although the baby’s growth chart gives you an idea as to what milestone your baby should be in at a certain age, each baby is unique and different. The most important thing is to analyze how your baby looks, how he feeds, if your baby is happy and if he is reaching his milestones.
