WHO growth charts (0-2 years)

WHO Growth charts (0-2) are used to calculate weight, length and weight for length percentiles for children aged under 2. These charts are used to monitor infant and young children’s growth, and both weight and length should be taken at any opportunity. Identifying any rapid increases or decreases away from the trajectory or growth curve, may help identify opportunities for early intervention. One-off assessments do not give a full picture of a child’s overall health and growth.
