Preemies

XP--preemie growth chart?

My twins were born at 36 weeks 5 days (so technically preemies, but just by a few days) and weighed 5lbs 4 oz and 5 lbs 5 oz.  Both babies have had very, very slow weight gain and we have been stuck at the bottom of the growth chart (never higher than 3rd%) forever.

 

So today I went to the GI for DS's 9 month weight check.  He was 15lbs 4 oz last week at the pedi, which put him in the 1%.  Today at the GI he was 15lbs 9oz.  The GI said that was the 25-50% on the preemie chart, so he isn't concerned.

 

Preemie chart?  huh?  This is the 1st I have ever heard of that.  Where can I find a preemie chart (I'm curious what my much smaller DD would be now).  I tried just adjusting DS's age to 8 months on the regular chart, but he still wouldn't even be close to 25%.  Am I missing something?
