re:  Paul Hands request for growth charts for breastfed babies
date:  March 20, 1996

Your best bet for information on the growth charts for breastfed babies
is found in the following article:

Dewey K, Peerson JM, Brown KH, Krebs NF et al. Growth of breast-fed
infants deviates from current reference data: a pooled analysis of US,
Canadian, and European data sets.  Pediatrics 1995;96:495-503.

A reference on the last page of the text (page 502) explains how you can
obtain the pooled data in growth chart form.

hope this helps!
