I found Growth Charts!!!

Hello and good day my lovely peeps! You guys keepme going!

I have found some great links to growth charts referencing babies in general and specifically guatemalan babies. Remember from a previous post that guatemalan children raised in poverty IN guatemala tend to be much smaller due to malnutrition, but babies raised in non-poverty, with adequate nutrition will average about the same as American children/adults. If your baby is small at time of birth/adoption it is probably due to lack of nurishment for the birth mother during pregnancy, but he/she has every chance of catching up in your care.

The links are:

http://www.cdc.gov/growthcharts/
http://www.eaci.com/medical/medical-growth_charts.htm

Hope it helps answer some questions! <>Steph
