Growth monitoring is widely accepted and strongly supported by health professionals, and is a standard component of community paediatric services throughout the world.Weight is an important parameter for growth, and weighing a baby or child is a routine part of care. By looking at your baby’s growth curve and weight for his age, your doctor will be able to see if the growth is within the normal range, or if there is any risk of over- or under-nutrition.Weight for age is not the only important parameter. Weight for height is equally as important in screening for stunting. In the earlier stages of life, length is used rather than height.
