Looking at the WHO Growth Standards it seems that the growth rate from day 2 to day 23 in babies on the 3rd percentile is 165g/week or thereabouts. Does anyone have the ability to do accurate calculations of growth rate with the Standards? It's a bit difficult to do using the charts.

> Well, I disagree with this fairly strongly. If you look at the WHO charts, you will see that the babies on the bottom curve (who are HEALTHY BABIES) are gaining less than 30 grams a day. The babies on the top curve are gaining more. But there is nothing wrong with those babies on the bottom curve!
