Since I’m under 2 years of age, use the gender-specific WHO growth charts and monitor weight and weight-for-length (Use WHO for Under 2!).
If I am above the 98th percentile for weight-for-length, I am classified as overweight and my caretakers may need counseling on nutrition, active play, and/or sleep. My family could also be experiencing other stressors like food insecurity, housing insecurity, or limited social support. Please ask and connect my family with local resources if needed.
