Updated resource: Growth Monitoring Guide
The CGF has produced a simple Growth Monitoring Guide that explains when babies, children and young people are usually measured, and which measurements are taken.
This updated guide demonstrates what parents and carers can expect in terms of the frequency and type of growth monitoring completed throughout childhood, including routine measurements taken by healthcare professionals, based on national guidelines. Often additional measurements are required, and we have included additional measurements that the CGF recommends should be taken and at what age.
If you have questions or concerns about your child’s growth please speak to a healthcare professional, or contact our Support Line:
