Understanding Your Child's Growth Chart — A Feeding Therapist Explains

Every well-child visit ends with a percentile number — but what does it actually mean? In this episode, I break down how pediatric growth charts work, who they were built on, and what they can (and can't) tell us about how your child is doing with food. You'll learn the difference between the CDC and WHO growth charts, why breastfed babies and children from certain ethnic backgrounds often appear to track lower on US charts, and what a percentile drop really means vs. when it actually warrants concern. Most importantly, I explain why a growth chart that looks "normal" doesn't always mean feeding is going well — and why the full story of your child's relationship with food goes far beyond a dot on a chart. #FeedingTherapy #GrowthChart #PediatricNutrition #PickyEater #FeedingKids #ParentingTips #ChildNutrition #TheAirplaneSpoon
