WS More or Less: Is my Baby a Giant?
More or Less: Behind the Stats
All over the world mothers are given numbers as their baby grows. The numbers are from โgrowth chartsโ showing how a baby is developing in comparison to others. Seven month old Baby Arlo has particularly big numbers, so much so that his parents are worried heโs one of the biggest babies in America. But where do these numbers come from? Is it an average? Why do they measure a babyโs head? Reporter Jordan Dunbar sets out to find out how we get these baby numbers and just how big Baby Arlo is.
