There is at least *one* other fan of growth charts on Lactnet, sitting at her computer writing this post.  Hi Magda!  
I am also a fan of the methods used in the UK for taking the WHO growth chart into use, in which Magda's expertise had an impact.   The things I like the most about what happened in the UK process: input from parents, and the de-emphasizing the percentiles so they are just lines on a graph, AND the comprehensive training being given to the health professionals who are doing the weighing and plotting.  Also the fact that they established policy for the purpose of combating the obesity epidemic, recognizing the contribution of failed or non-existent breastfeeding to that problem.

Please do keep us posted, all of you in Australia who happen across any news about it.
