Baby Growth Percentile Calculator
A Baby Growth Percentile is a measurement that indicates how a baby’s growth (in terms of weight, height/length, and head circumference) compares to a standardized population of babies of the same age and gender. Growth percentiles are commonly used by pediatricians to assess a baby’s physical development and ensure they are growing at a healthy rate.
Example
If a baby is:
- 4 months old,
- Male,
- Weighs 7 kg,
- Measures 65 cm in height,
- Has a head circumference of 42 cm,
The calculator might return:
- Weight Percentile: 50th (average weight for age and gender).
- Height Percentile: 60th (taller than 60% of peers).
- Head Circumference Percentile: 40th (smaller head than 60% of peers).
