I found these reputable sources:
WEIGHT GAIN (GROWTH PATTERNS) by Dr. Sears http://www.askdrsears.com/html/2/t023600.asp
Average Growth Patterns of Breastfed Babies by Kelly…
Thank you Carrie. This is very helpful! The more we educate ourselves as parents, the better we are at asking questions and interpreting info from out health care professionals. Much appreciated.
A growth chart isn't a test, where you are striving to get your baby into the 100th percentile. The growth charts show us the statistical distribution of weight, height , etc. in a particular set of babies . So if a baby is in the 50th percentile fo…
I agree. I hate the growth charts we are using in American practice. I can't understand how we are in a childhood obesity epidemic, yet we are still using the same growth charts and they are hassling my healthy son for being under the average. I con…
Thanks Trudy. My son is not quite on the growth chart, even on the WHO growth chart he is in the one percentile. His blood-work shows no signs of malnourishment, and developmentally he is stellar. His head circumference is in the 95th percentile, so…
I would tend to agree that if a child is fed a cow's milk formula, they most likely are going to be quite a bit bigger than children who are breast-fed. American growth charts may be based on formula fed babies.
My kids were breast-fed and they were…
The World Health Organization growth chart should be used in all clinics, hospitals, etc. The way our doctors are measuring our children is out-of-date, and inaccurate. Because of this, families are suffering. The rise of childhood obesity should be…
We love Dr. McKaffrey at Ironhorse Peds. He and Dr. Maynard saved our little boy's life by catching things early. He calls them the "old guys". The "old guys" have seen everything. Although they aren't alternative docs, they are respectful of some o…
Hi Kaitlin! I can honestly say that I heartily recommend ANY of the doctors at ABC Pediatrics. They are in the north part of the city, off of Union around Research. Our primary doc is Dr. Karen Childs, but they are all wonderful. A short story:

In search of a good Pediatrician....
Hello Parents
My son and I are moving to Colorado Springs this summer (julyish), and I am in search of both a good Pediatrician (covered by CHP), and a Naturopathic doctor. My son has had issues gaining weight, and we're going through a lot. We live in Oregon, and our state insurance has control over most of our medical decisions for our son. We have been forced to feed our son with an NG tube for the last few months, and it is taking a toll on all of us. We are excited to be leaving all this b… Continue
