Track baby growth milestones
Baby growth percentiles are measurements used by pediatricians to compare a child's height, weight, and head circumference to a national reference database of healthy children of the same age and sex. A percentile of 50% means the child is exactly in the middle of average benchmarks.
A baby's growth is typically tracked during standard pediatrician checkups at 1, 2, 4, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, and 24 months. You can also use our online growth calculator to track milestones at home between visits.
A low growth percentile (e.g., 10th percentile) simply means the child is smaller than average, which is often genetic and perfectly normal. Pediatricians are more concerned with a child's growth curve over time; a sudden drop in percentiles is more important than a consistently low percentile.
