Using this baby girl percentile calculator is simple:

Enter your baby's age in months
Select the measurement type (height or weight)

The calculator uses Australian growth standards to determine where your baby's measurements fall in comparison to other Australian babies of the same age.

What Is a Growth Percentile?

A growth percentile indicates where your baby's measurements fall in comparison to other babies of the same age. Percentiles range from 1 to 99:

50th percentile - Average growth
Below 10th percentile - Below average growth
Above 90th percentile - Above average growth

Note: Percentiles are not the same as grades. A percentile simply shows where your baby stands in relation to others, not whether they are "good" or "bad."

Australian Growth Charts

This calculator uses Australian growth standards based on data from the Australian Health Survey and other reliable sources. The charts consider:

Regional variations in growth

The growth charts are updated periodically to reflect current Australian health data.
