What is target weight gain for a 7yr old to maintain their growth curve? what about catch-up weight (former7%, now 2nd)?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Discuss with your: pediatrician. Review growth charts for velocity of growth of height, weight, head circumference & BMI. If 3 points on his curve show lack of adequate weight gain & BMI is below 5th %ile, doctor will evaluate for pediatric undernutrition. It would be unusual for height or head circumference growth to slow down. If they have, a different eval. is needed.
