Different height/weight charts for breastfed babies?

[jayisa02]

I heard that there were different height/weight charts for breastfed babies than the ones we have in our personal records books. is this true? if so does anyone have access to the charts? where is my 13mth old 9.5kg DD on the chart if you have it handy?:)

The WHO have recently published new charts to replace the 40 year old ones based on formula fed bubs.

Yep as Frenchie has shown yes there are other charts to use !

Sadly most of the baby books only have the old ones !

Oh & btw she is within perfect weight range !

She is just above the 50th percentile on the weight for age.

I have a 12mth old 7.5kg DD and was copping so much grief from the nurses at the baby clinic that I printed them out to take and made them plot her on the weight for height chart. They were still a bit snippy about it, so I stopped going.
