How Baby Height is Calculated

Baby height is measured from the top of the head to the bottom of the feet while the baby is lying down. The measurement is taken in centimeters and compared against standard growth charts.

Baby Height Comparison = (Baby's Height - Average Height for Age) / Average Height for Age × 100%

Where:

Baby's Height = Measured height in centimeters
Average Height for Age = Standard growth percentile for baby's age

Positive percentages indicate above-average growth, while negative percentages indicate below-average growth.
