Ila’s One Year Well Check
Name: Ila Jane Cochran
Age: 1 year, I week
Weight: 14 lbs 10 oz less than 3rd percentile
Length: 25 3/4 inches less than 3rd percentile
Head Circumference: 45.5cm 65th percentile
Last well check (6 month) comparison:
Age = +6 months, weight = +1 lb 11 oz, length = +1 1/2 inches, head = +2.5 cm
Her length and weight were so low that they were well below the line (they don’t have a specific percentile for her). The doctor said it was normal for kids to dip and wished we were sticking around so that he could see where she was on the Chart next time. After testing her blood for iron content, he wrote her a prescription for Iron supplements.
