National Centre for Health Statistics (NCHS) reference, also known as NCHS/ WHO International Growth Reference, was recommended three decades ago by WHO [19]. The NCHS reference was based on data on longitudinal study of children of European ancestry from a single community in the United States which was collected between 1929 and 1975 [20]. These children were measured every three months. Majority of these infants were fed artificial milk. The limitation of NCHS was that the measurement was not adequate to describe the rapid and changing rate of growth in early infancy. Additionally, there were shortcomings inherent in the statistical methods available and used.
