GROWTH CHART

Growth charts are an important tool for monitoring the growth of children. Record the measurements that are taken during your routine well child visits to your Pediatrician so that you can keep your own graphic record. Growth charts are available for Indian children, but any growth chart can be used since normal children grow at almost the same pace worldwide. If your child is growing along one of the curves, he is probably growing normally and if growth is in a downward or upward direction, it means that the child’s growth is abnormal.

Any concerns that you have about your child's growth and development should be discussed with your Pediatrician.
