Interprete the mass and height in the road to health booklet?

The mass and height measurements in the Road to Health booklet are used to track a child's growth and development over time. Mass (weight) is an important indicator of a child's nutritional status and overall health, while height is used to monitor growth patterns and potential issues with stunting or malnutrition. By regularly recording and monitoring these measurements, healthcare providers can assess a child's progress and provide appropriate interventions if needed.
