Yes, our Pediatrician uses the WHS growth chart with Dylan. It is great because it is a more realistic measurement of Dylan’s growth. He is currently in the 75% for height and weight on the WHS chart but on the standard charts he is below.
We only use the WHS growth chart, the “normal” one was removed from her chart at birth and we only use this one. Riley is in the 25% for height on this one but over the 100% for weight for her age. Oops!
We use both charts, but where Kaylee is not even ON the regular chart for height or weight, she is on the perfect 50% in both on the WHS charts. My doctors (pediatrician, gastro, and neurologist, have all taken to using the WHS charts for that reason.)
Thanks everyone. I put Sabrina on the chart and she is around 75% for everything and I didn’t account for her prematurity either. It’s nice not to have her way down the bottom off the chart anymore!
