Infant Growth Standards

Infant growth standards are charts used by healthcare professionals to track a baby's development in size and weight compared to other babies of the same age and sex. They help identify if a baby is growing healthily or if there may be concerns needing attention. These standards are based on large groups of healthy infants and provide a reference to ensure each child's growth is on track. They do not determine perfect growth but serve as a helpful tool to monitor overall health and development during infancy.
