I just looked this up for someone tonight:

http://www.who.int/childgrowth/standards/en/

There are seperate pages for weight, height, etc.

HTH,

yow. I just checked the charts. My DD is 17 mths and she is somewhere around the 25th perceintle for height but in the 0 to -1 perceintlie for weight. I know she is healthy and I am not worried but yeesh. Makes me glad I dont deal with pediatricians that would be hasseling me about her growth :eyeroll

I don't understand why there are separate charts for bf and ff babies. There should be only one chart, breastfeeding. FF babies will show up as having abnormal height/weight on the charts more often than bf babies, which is how it should be.
