Health - New World Health Organization growth charts for breastfed babies Based on careful studies of breastfed babies living under "ideal" conditions in several countries, WHO has determined that they grow at similar rates and that this growth pattern is the ideal one. Thus they have issued a series of new growth charts, separate ones for boys and girls of different ages. The previous international ones were based on how largely bottle fed American babies grew.
If you plot the growth of your breastfed baby on these new charts, you may get a pleasant surprise--at some ages what used to look like mild "growth retardation" now shows up as normal growth. Spread the word!
