Here's one from the CDC (USA) <http://www.cdc.gov/nccdphp/dnpa/growthcharts/training/modules/module2/text/ page5h.htm> It was done in collaboration with WHO, and includes only breastfed girl infants. They state they are working on one that will go from birth to five years. and from kellymom.com <http://www.kellymom.com/babyconcerns/growth/growthcharts.html> Charts for boys and for girls, based on a small sample of breastfed infants. and from the Canadian Paediatric Society, guidelines for using growth charts <http://www.cps.ca/english/statements/N/NutritionNoteGrowth.htm> I hope this helps. -Claire Bloodgood, IBCLC *********************************************** To temporarily stop your subscription: set lactnet nomail To start it again: set lactnet mail (or digest) To unsubscribe: unsubscribe lactnet All commands go to [log in to unmask] The LACTNET mailing list is powered by L-Soft's renowned LISTSERV(R) list management software together with L-Soft's LSMTP(R) mailer for lightning fast mail delivery.
