Fenton Growth Charts

Fenton Growth Charts are tools used to assess the growth and development of premature infants. Unlike standard growth charts for full-term babies, Fenton charts are specifically designed to reflect the unique growth patterns and nutritional needs of preterm infants, taking into account their gestational age at birth. By comparing a premature baby’s weight, length, and head circumference against these charts, healthcare providers can monitor their growth progress and identify any potential health issues. This ensures that preterm infants receive appropriate care as they grow and develop.
