Understanding Growth Charts

Growth charts from WHO and CDC help track your child's development:

  • Percentile: Shows what percentage of children your child's age are smaller. 50th percentile = average.
  • Z-Score: Standard deviations from the median. 0 = median, ±1 = 68% of children, ±2 = 95% of children.
  • Normal Range: 3rd to 97th percentile is considered normal.
  • Tracking: Consistent growth along a curve is more important than the specific percentile.

Note: This calculator uses WHO growth standards for children 0-24 months. Always consult your pediatrician for professional growth assessment.

How It Works

1

Enter Child Details

Select gender and enter age in months or years. Growth charts are gender-specific due to different growth patterns.

2

Input Measurements

Enter height/length and weight. Supports both metric (cm, kg) and imperial (inches, lbs) units.

3

Get Percentile Results

See height, weight, and BMI percentiles with Z-scores and personalized health recommendations.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does my child's percentile mean?

A percentile shows how your child compares to other children the same age. If your child is at the 75th percentile for height, they're taller than 75% of children their age. The 50th percentile is average.

What is a normal growth percentile for toddlers?

Any percentile between 3rd and 97th is considered normal. What matters most is consistent growth along a curve. A child consistently at the 10th percentile is growing normally, just smaller than average.

When should I be concerned about my child's growth?

Consult your pediatrician if: your child drops across two major percentile lines, is below 3rd or above 97th percentile, or if height and weight percentiles differ by more than 40 points.

What is a Z-score in growth charts?

Z-score measures how many standard deviations a measurement is from the median. Z-score of 0 = median (50th percentile), +1 = 84th percentile, -1 = 16th percentile, +2 = 97th percentile.

How often should I track my toddler's growth?

Pediatricians typically measure at well-child visits: monthly for first 6 months, every 2-3 months until age 1, then every 3-6 months. Home tracking between visits helps identify trends early.
