Children's Growth Chart A growth chart is a graph used to track
a child's growth and development over time. At each of your
child's well-child visits, the doctor will measure: These
measurements are plotted on a graph according to your child's
age and sex. Growth charts show the consistency of your child's
pattern of growth over time. It is important to remember that
your child is likely to have growth spurts as well as periods of
slow growth, even as a baby. Talk to your doctor if you have any
concerns. For more information about growth charts, go to the
