Please Note: The Infant growth charts had a typographical error on them. The infant charts for both boys and girls (on the weight for age graph) have the weight marked in increments of 2 pounds but at the top (on the y axis) it went from 38 to 39 when it should have gone from 38 to 40. The charts have been corrected and the updated versions can be found below.

WIC Growth Charts for Infants
	The Centers for Disease Control (CDC), National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) created these new Weight-for-age, Length-for-age, Head circumference-for-age and Weight-for-length charts with direction from the Supplemental Food Programs Division (SFPD). These modified Birth to 36 Months Charts now have English units on the primary scale and metric units on the secondary scale. This change should make it easier to plot a child's growth using English unit measurements. In addition, the WIC logo has been added to the border of the growth chart. Black and white and colored versions are now available.
