[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The growth curves are artificial lines. The scientists did not measure kids over time and create a curve for each kid. They plotted every the data points for every kid at every age, and created lines connecting the 95th percentile weight at every age group, whether it belonged to kid A, B, C at age 2 or kid X, Y, or Z at age 3. These curves are the bane of the existence of pediatricians who understand this, and are misinterpreted by pediatricians who don’t. [/quote] So how should we be tracking our child's growth trajectory?[/quote] DP but why do you need to? Unless you suspect a hormone issue there’s literally no need. [/quote]
