There are no WHO breastfed baby growth charts.  There are some under
construction, but they will not be available until 2003.  There were some
research charts based on a tiny tiny sample of breastfed children, published
in one of the WHO publications justifying why they feel we need growth
charts based on children fed according to WHO recommendations, but those
research charts were NOT supposed to be used to assess children's growth.
The original publications made that very clear.
