Baby Growth Percentiles Explained

Pediatricians plot baby measurements on WHO growth charts. Any percentile from 5th to 95th is generally within normal limits. What matters most is consistent growth along your baby's own curve. A baby at 10th percentile who stays at 10th percentile is growing normally.

WHO Median Weight (Girls) by Month

  • Birth: 3.2kg | 3mo: 5.8kg | 6mo: 7.3kg | 9mo: 8.2kg | 12mo: 8.9kg

Track Your Baby's Growth Against WHO Standards

The baby growth calculator plots your baby's weight, height, and head circumference against World Health Organization (WHO) growth standards, giving you a percentile ranking and showing whether your baby is growing on a healthy trajectory.

Understanding Growth Percentiles

A percentile tells you how your baby compares to other babies of the same age and sex. A baby in the 50th percentile for weight is heavier than 50% of babies their age. There is no single 'ideal' percentile β€” what matters is that your baby follows a consistent growth curve over time.

What the Calculator Measures

  • Weight-for-age: Is baby gaining weight appropriately?
  • Length/height-for-age: Is baby growing in height as expected?
  • Head circumference-for-age: Is brain and skull development on track?
  • Weight-for-length: Is baby's weight proportionate to their length?

What is a healthy growth percentile for babies?

Any percentile from 3rd to 97th is considered normal. A consistent percentile over time is what matters β€” sudden drops or rises warrant medical attention.

My baby dropped from 60th to 30th percentile β€” is that concerning?

A drop of more than 2 major percentile lines (e.g., from 75th to 25th) over time may warrant discussion with your pediatrician, especially if accompanied by feeding concerns.

How often should my baby be weighed?

Newborns are typically weighed at every check-up: 3–5 days, 2 weeks, 1 month, 2 months, 4 months, 6 months, 9 months, and 12 months.
