Do they not record bubs length in your child's health record book anymore?

Hey guys

I know it may be a bit different from state to state, but I just noticed today that in DS's Baby book (health records) there isn't a "Length Chart". There is still the graph for charting a baby's weight, but none for the length.
I know these graphs are over rated etc..but I was just wondering why they have left out the length chart now, or is it that it was just missed out of his book?!

(Why I was wondering is that DS looks really long! and I am wondering if we just think that or if he is infact quite long for his age..)

Ta!

There is a length chart in DS's book (NSW)

Yep, we have a length chart in the QLD book. They're pretty overrated though, but I'm sure you could find one if you googled for it?

(Completely OT but how funny is it that 'googled' is a recognised word now. LOL!)

We have them in our books in ACT too - maybe you got a dud book??? Has your baby been measured and MCHN written in the consultation areas and just not recorded on the graph or something?

And there's one in our VIC book too... this is the link to the same chart online tho... if that helps

I have one in the Tas one I would say dud book. As the head one there? And both sexes?

Hi Lee - i think you got a dud - Isla has one in hers and we are Perth too - if you tell me his length and age i can tell you the percentile if you like - or get my page photocopied and sent you.
