International Growth Awareness week

Is your Child Growing Normally?

Normal growth (adequate gain in weight and height) is an indicator of good health in children.

Children between 3 to 9 years of age grow at least 2 inches per year.

Too much or too less increase in height can be an early warning sign of illness.

Every child should be measured at least twice a year, and their growth tracked on a growth chart.
