Growth charts

My son was a 35 weeker and he is small on the charts. Is there anyway that I can see where he is with his growth in relation to other kids his gestational age? I know growth charts shouldn't matter but I'm curious.

You can find growth charts and growth chart calculators online. Just use his gestational age. You can also ask your pediatrician. My little guy was a 34 weeker. At his 4 month appointment, he was 25th percentile for height and weight for a full term 4 month old (which was great cause he was barely on the chart at his two month appointment). The same numbers put him in the 50th percentile for a 3 month old which is closer to where he should be.
