слабый набор веса (Poor growth generally describes a child whose current weight, or rate of weight gain, is significantly below that expected of similar children of the same age and sex. Adequacy of growth is best evaluated by plotting serial measurements on a centile weight chart. A child who is tracking downwards on the charts may have poor growth and needs a proper evaluation for nutritional or other causes. Children less than the 3rd centile for age may also appear to have poor growth, but many may still be within normal limits of growth and are just small healthy babies.
