If you go to the Department of Health's website, they will have the official chart that the doctors use. But don't worry too much about the weight they're "supposed" to be. My daughter is in the 95th percentile for her height, and the 25th percentile for her weight - she's tall and skinny. She eats like a horse, and we feed her a lot, but she has a very high metabolism. Just like her daddy (thank God). At first, I was constantly quizing our doctor, feeling like I wasn't doing enough for her. My doctor finally told me not to worry about things, and that she is healthy, and as long as she is growing and gaining weight as she grows, she is fine. She said they would worry if she didn't grow at all.
Good luck!!

well..the most important thing is that they are following their own personal growth curve. Here is a link to an online growth chart..just choose if your child is a boy or girl and the age catagory. HTH
