Baby growth charts are important tools healthcare providers use to check your little one's overall health. The WHO growth charts are standards; they identify how children should grow when provided optimal conditions. The WHO standards are based on a high-quality study designed explicitly for creating growth charts. So while they might give you the impression that children are supposed to follow them (or stay on the curve), there's no reason to think that's the case. No study says that a child who is at the 25th percentile for weight at 2 months, for instance, should remain there at 4 months or 6 months. There's no proven way to predict a child's adult height.
Atlanta pediatrician Jennifer Shu, co-author of “Food Fights,'' a nutrition guide for parents, agrees. “Although the charts are commonly used to graphically illustrate the typical growth patterns for boys and girls, it is important to note that they do not accurately reflect the growth of all children,'' she says.
