GROWTH CHART
Also known as the road to health chart. It displays the child's
physical growth and development.
A single weight record indicate the child's size at that moment, it does not give information whether the weight is increasing,
decreasing or steady.
Periodic weighing is necessary starting at birth and continued thereafter to note the progress of growth.
The child should be weighed :
1st year- once a month
2nd year- every 2 months
Up to 5 - 6 year - every 3 months
The weight should particularly be taken after any illness or when the child is sick.

should be -
1 month - 2.75 - 4.25 Kgs.
2 months - 3.5 - 5 Kgs
3 months - 4 - 5.5 kgs.
4 months - 4.5 - 6.5 Kgs.
