FAQs
- What is a baby growth chart?
-
A baby growth chart gives you a quick snapshot of how your little one measures up compared to others their age and gender. It’s something both parents and doctors often refer to during checkups. Our calculator uses WHO-based growth charts to give you accurate and trusted results.
- What does growth percentile mean?
-
Growth percentiles help you see where your baby stands compared to other babies the same age. So, if your little one falls in the 75th percentile for height, it means they’re taller than 75 out of 100 babies their age. It’san easy way to track if your baby is growing steadily and within a healthy range.
- How to calculate baby growth?
-
To get a clear picture of your baby’s growth, you’ll need a few details, like their age, weight, height (or length), and head circumference. Once you have those, you can either refer to standard growth charts or use a Baby Growth Calculator like ours. It shows your baby’s percentile and helps you understand how they’re growing compared to others their age and gender
- How to measure baby height?
-
To measure a baby’s height (also called length), lay your baby flat on their back on a safe, firm surface. Gently stretch their legs and use a measuring tape or ruler to measure from the top of their head to the bottom of their heel. For the most accurate results, ask someone to help hold your baby still or get it checked during a doctor’s visit.
- How many kg is good for a baby?
-
A baby’s healthy weight can vary depending on things like age, gender, and whether they were born full-term or a bit early. But just to give you a ballpark, most full-term newborns weigh between 2.5 and 4.5 kg. By 5 to 6 months, many babies double their birth weight—and by their first birthday, they often triple it. Not sure if your baby’s weight is on track? Our growth calculator can help you figure it out in seconds.
- Why is it important to measure baby's growth?
-
Keeping an eye on your baby’s growth isn’tjust about numbers, it is an important part of making sure they are healthy and developing well. Keep checking in regularly to see if your little one is getting the right nutrition and hitting expected milestones. It also gives your doctor a chance to spot any signs of growth delays or health concerns early on.
- Should I be worried if my baby is in a low percentile?
-
Not always. Being in a low percentile doesn’t always mean there is a problem. Some babies are just naturally smaller, and that can be completely normal. What really matters is whether your baby is growing at a steady pace over time. If there’s a sudden drop in their percentile, or if they’ve been staying on the lower end for a while, it is worth checking in with your pediatrician for peace of mind.
- How often should I have my baby’s growth assessed?
-
It’s usually checked during routine doctor visits, especially in the first year—at birth, 1 month, 2 months, 4 months, 6 months, 9 months, and 12 months. After that, checkups may happen every few months. You can also track growth at home using our calculator between visits.
- What if my kid’s growth curve fails to follow these charts?
-
If your baby’s growth curve doesn’t follow the expected pattern, it might be due to nutrition, genetics, or health conditions. It’s best to talk to a paediatrician who can guide you with the right steps. Our tool can help you spot changes early, so you can take action if needed.
