Description:
This calculator provides your baby's length or height percentile based on age. The percentile shows how your infant's length compares to other infants. The percentile tells you what percentage of babies measure less than your baby. For example out of a sample of 100 babies, a percentile value of 45 percent means your baby measures more than 45 babies and measures less than the other 55 babies.

A percentile of 50% represents the average or mean length. A value below 50 percent means a baby measures less than the average. A value greater than 50 percent means a baby is above average. This does not mean your baby is over length or under length. A doctor or physician should be consulted to determine length status.
