Your Baby's Growth Percentiles

5th Percentile

Your baby's growth is plotted against WHO standard populations. Remember that consistent growth along your baby's own curve is more important than the individual percentile ranking.

How This Calculator Works

Maps height, weight, and head measurements against WHO (0-2 years) tables using LMS normal distribution statistics.

Baby Growth Percentile Calculator — WHO Reference Tracker

Assess your infant's physical measurements against global WHO growth benchmarks.

WHO vs. CDC Growth Standards

The WHO standards track optimal growth under healthy breastfed environments, which is the international standard for children up to 2 years. The CDC charts are typical reference standards for older kids.

Growth Consistency

Pediatricians look for steady growth along your baby's chosen percentile line rather than high rankings, ensuring consistent nutritional intake.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q:What do growth percentiles mean?

If your baby is in the 70th percentile for weight, it means they weigh more than 70% of babies of the same age and sex, and less than 30%.

Q:When should I worry about percentiles?

Concern typically arises if there is a sudden drop across two major percentile curves (e.g. from 75th down to 15th) or if measurements are near the extremes (below 3rd or above 97th).
