What the CDC growth chart measures
The CDC growth charts summarize how a large, nationally representative sample of US children grew between the 1960s and 1990s. Unlike the WHO standard, which is a prescriptive model of optimal growth, CDC charts are a descriptive reference — they tell you how American children of a given age and sex typically measured, not necessarily how they should.
For that reason, US pediatricians commonly switch to CDC charts once a child turns 2, and use them through adolescence for tracking weight, height, and BMI-for-age.
CDC vs WHO: the practical difference
Because the CDC dataset includes formula-fed infants (who tend to gain weight faster in the first year than exclusively breastfed babies in the WHO dataset), a baby's percentile can shift slightly when switching between the two charts. This is expected and not a sign of a problem — see our WHO vs CDC comparison for a full breakdown.
