Question 2

do babies age to weight/length percentiles project to their potential adult size... or is it only applicable to their babyhood?

Accepted Answer

Growth: Potential adult height depends mostly on family height. One rough calculation: mid parental height (+) 1 inch for boy and (-) 1 inch for girls. Infants and young children temporarily loose weight with slowness of growth when they have minor illnesses, and catches up soon after recovery.
The child who has been always overfeed and big has seen to be overweight as adults.

Question 3

Accepted Answer

Varies: Around 20 lbs 28 inches. . There are different growth charts  for girls and boys and prematurely born.  There is a wide variation of normal. The best indcator of normal development is the steady growth of height,  weight and head circumference over successive months

Question 4

what is the height and weight for a child to go from an infant seat into a high back booster seat?

Accepted Answer

Depends: Each restraint system has a sticker on the body that details the ht &weight range for the seat. Kids should rear face until @ least 2y or longer to protect their neck from spinal cord injury. Boosters with improved integrated 5 pt harness are available up to 60-85 lb which remain the best protection in a roll over or t bone crash. You never get to pick your type of crash.

Question 5

hi i would like to know who is responsible to chart down my babies growth in her road to health book as i am seeing a pediatrician for her but now i would like to know is it my job as the mom to chart down her height, weight and milestones ?

Accepted Answer

Basics: It is routine for a pediatrician to obtain &amp; keep a growth chart on any patient in their permanent (they keep them) medical records. It remains one of the best ways to document/follow growth &amp; health in a child. Whether on not the doc or his staff record those measurements in a book you keep would be a local issue. I suggest you have them show you how &amp; learn to do it yourself.
