What is the ideal percentile for your child's height and weight?

There is no one ideal percentile for any child. Therefore, it may be perfectly normal if your child comes in at the 25th percentile or the 75th percentile for height or weight. However it is still important to track height and weight over time and evaluate the data against the growth charts to identify your child's growth pattern.

Please discuss your child's growth concerns with your doctor.

Always consult a doctor if you have any concerns about your child's growth pattern as interpretation of growth must be made in the overall clinical context of the individual child.

What do the curved lines on a growth chart mean?

The curved lines on a growth chart are called percentiles. The higher the percentile number for height or weight, the bigger a child is compared to other children of the same age and gender; the lower the percentile number, the smaller the child is.

For example, if a 3-year-old boy's weight is at the 25th percentile, it means that 25% of boys his age weigh less than he does and 75% of boys his age weigh more.

Monitor Growth To Fuel Your Child’s Growth Potential

Don’t let suboptimal growth hold child back from chasing their dreams!

Growth is an important indicator of your child’s overall health and nutritional status. Poor growth may be a result of unbalanced eating habits (e.g. fussy eating), nutritional deficiency and in some cases underlying medical conditions. The growth trajectory of your child can impact their growth potential, especially height in adulthood.

Building a strong nutritional foundation with complete, balanced nutrition gives you the power to make a difference to your child’s current growth trajectory and more importantly, achieving growth potential in the future.
