By Najiah N.

Base on Chart of Indonesian Health Ministry

This is a standard newborn baby growth table until the baby is a year old. Using kilograms to measure weight and centimeter to measure length, this table is use to know the percentage of our baby growth. 100% means his/her growth is in the maximum standard, while 90%, 80%, 70% is categorize acceptable. If your baby’s growth is more than 100%, that means s/he is obesity and if your baby’s growth is lower than 70% that means s/he is categorize malnutrient. By the time your baby is a year old, s/he must have atleast the three times weight of his/her weight born. But the length of a baby is determine by genetics factors, like races.

You should consult first with your baby’s physician weather you should increase or decrease your baby’s feeding pattern if you have a malnutrient or obesity baby.
