Growth Chart

Ever wondered where all the percentile statistics are coming from when they weigh and measure your baby at the doctor's office?

Well, they come from a simple little chart. You can look them up yourself on the CDC's website. (This is one thing that is actually useful that the CDC does. What a surprise!)

I have converted one into an image for you all to see below. This way you can see exactly where your child fits in and what "35th percentile" actually means in relation to the rest of the babies out there. And you can even guess what they will weigh next year!

There are different types of charts too (length for weight percentiles, length for age, etc.) Go here to see the rest of the charts and more information.
