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 with your child's doctor for growth concerns.
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.
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.
