According to the IHDP Growth Percentiles for VLBW Premature Boys, how would you classify LV for height and weight for age at 9 months? What should his height and weight be at 9 months?
Almost at the 5th percentile for weight and less than the 5th percentile for height. For a normal birth at 40 weeks, a 9 month old should be about 20.5 lbs and 28.5 ins for the 50th percentile. At 28 weeks, or 3 months early, 17.5 lbs and 26 ins for the 50th percentile would not be abnormal.
