Weigh your child regularly and check whether he/she has a normal weight according to the standard growth chart. See a health professional if your child’s weight falls below the normal range.

Weight is the most common measurement to monitor the growth of a child. A child who is growing well has a suitable weight for his age or height. Weigh your child regularly and check whether he has a normal weight on the standard growth chart. See a health professional if your child’s weight falls below the normal range.

The Standard Growth Chart adapted from NCHS’s (National Center for Health Statistics, USA) chart.
