How the Calculation Works (Simple Explanation)
Doctors use growth charts to track children’s growth. These charts are made using data from thousands of healthy children.
A percentile shows how your baby compares to others.
For example:
If your baby is in the 60th percentile for weight, it means
👉 Your baby weighs more than 60 out of 100 babies the same age
👉 And weighs less than 40 out of 100 babies
This does not mean better or worse. It just shows a position on the growth chart.
Healthy children can be in many different percentiles. What matters most is steady growth over time.
Example:
- Baby age: 12 months
- Weight: 9 kg
- Result: 55th percentile
This means your baby’s weight is very close to the average for their age.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What is a normal percentile for babies?
There is no single “perfect” percentile. Babies can be healthy in the 10th, 50th, or 90th percentile. Steady growth is more important than the number itself.
Should I worry if my baby is in a low percentile?
Not always. Some babies are naturally smaller. But if your baby drops many percentile lines suddenly, talk to a doctor.
Is a higher percentile better?
No. A higher percentile only means a bigger size compared to others. Health depends on many factors, not just size.
How often should I check growth percentiles?
Every few months is enough for most babies. Doctors usually check growth during regular checkups.
Can this replace a doctor’s advice?
No. This calculator is for general information. Always talk to a paediatrician for medical concerns.
