Episode 97: Understanding Your Child’s Growth

We're back! After a year-long break, Anna Lutz, MPH, RD/LDN, CEDRD-S, and Elizabeth Davenport, MPH, RD, LD, return to the Sunny Side Up Nutrition Podcast with an important conversation about how to support your child’s growth in a body-positive, evidence-based way.

In this episode, we talk about:

Tips to prepare for pediatrician visits and advocate for your child.

Why the 50th percentile is not the “ideal” plot point on a growth chart.

What does it mean when your child crosses percentiles?

The importance of focusing on each child’s own, individual growth history.

How body diversity plays a role in interpreting growth.

Why height and weight data on growth charts are just information.
