Growth

• Important: Corrected age should be used at least until 24 to 36 months of age for premature infants born at < 37 weeks gestation.
• Measuring growth: The growth of all term infants, both breastfed and non-breastfed, and preschoolers should be evaluated using Canadian growth charts from the 2006 World Health Organization Child Growth Standards (birth to 5 years) with measurement of recumbent length (birth to 2–3 years) or standing height (≥ 2 years), weight, head circumference (birth to 2 years) and calculation of BMI (2–5 years).
