  • 0-1 month: 48-52 cm
  • 1-3 months: 52-58 cm
  • 3-6 months: 58-64 cm
  • 6-9 months: 64-70 cm

How the Growth Chart Works

The calculator uses standard Indian pediatric growth charts to compare your baby's measurements against national averages. Here's how it works:

  1. The calculator collects your baby's age, height, and weight
  2. It calculates the baby's BMI using the standard formula
  3. The BMI is compared against Indian growth standards
  4. A percentile score is generated to show where your baby stands
  5. A visual chart displays the baby's growth trajectory

Note: This calculator provides general guidance. Always consult with your pediatrician for personalized advice about your baby's growth.
