    Growth charts from the CDC are used to measure infant growth from birth to 36 months using weight-for-age, length-for-age, weight-for-length, and head circumference-for-age. The charts indicate abnormal growth if measurements fall below the 5th percentile or above the 95th percentile. The CDC growth reference charts are based on data from the WHO Multicentre Growth Reference Study.
