Track your child’s development

These charts are indicators for monitoring your child’s health. During the first few months, your child will grow at a spectacular pace. Then, after 12 months, this growth spurt will slow down. 

Height curve
Weight curve
 The ratio between size and weight can be an early warning sign of any potential growth problems your child may face. You don’t need to weigh and measure your child every day. Just once a month and/or each time you see your doctor is enough. Don’t worry if your friends’ children seem bigger or smaller than yours as each child develops at his own rate.

The World Health Organisation recommends exclusive breastfeeding during your child’s first 6 months and continued breastfeeding for as long as possible. As babies grow at different paces, health professionals should advise you on the appropriate time to start on complementary foods.
