In May of 2000, CDC released revised Growth Charts for children of all ages. The population studied to determine the desirable rate of growth included many breastfed infants. Although there are no growth charts specific to breastfed children alone, these revised CDC Growth Charts are recommended for all infants in the United States. The World Health Organization is developing growth charts based on breastfed infants. CDC is currently working with WHO on these new growth charts.
