📏 Baby Growth Chart
Plot your baby's measurements on WHO standard percentile curves. Track weight, length, and head circumference from birth to 24 months.
📖 Understanding Percentiles
📊
What is a percentile? If your baby is at the 50th percentile for weight, it means 50% of babies the same age weigh less and 50% weigh more.
✅
Normal range: Anything between the 3rd and 97th percentile is considered within normal range. The key is consistent growth along YOUR baby's curve.
📈
Crossing lines: It's normal for babies to cross one percentile line. Crossing two or more lines (up or down) in a short period may need attention.
👶
Premature babies: Use corrected age (adjust for prematurity) until age 2. Preemies often follow their own curve before catching up.
⚕️ Growth charts are screening tools, not diagnostic. Your pediatrician considers many factors including genetics, feeding, and overall development. Always discuss concerns with your provider.
