I don't have much experience working with premature babies. Once they have reached their estimated due date, can you track their weight on the WHO growth charts? For example if a baby is born 6 weeks early, once they are 6 weeks old would you plot them as time 0, and when they are 7 weeks old they would be week 1 on the chart etc? Should premature babies follow the 5-7 oz weightgain per week once they reach their EDD?
