Formula: Approximation using WHO weight-for-age medians (0–36 months)

Worth Knowing

A growth percentile places your baby's weight against a reference population — the 50th percentile is the median, and being at the 20th or 80th is perfectly normal. What pediatricians watch is the trend: a baby who tracks steadily along their own curve is usually thriving even at a low percentile, whereas a sudden jump across percentile lines is what prompts a closer look. This tool uses WHO median data as an approximation and is no substitute for plotted clinical growth charts.
