She was 27-1/4" tall at that check-up, and I actually measured her as 27" tall at home for her 12 month board (although I'm sure she didn't shrink). How worried should I be (because you know I am!)?</p> <p>She was 21" at birth, 23" at 2 months, 26.25" at 6 months, 27.25" at 9 months. (So has gradually dropped percentile, but current height puts her at 2%, down from 25% at 9 months)<br /> Her weight has been around 50%, and has also dropped but not as much. She was 18.1 lbs at 9 months, and is just under 19 lbs now.</p> <p>I do recall the nurse measuring twice at her 9 month appointment, so I believe there was some concern but it was never voiced to me, and the dr. didn't mention it at all.</p> <p>Developmentally she seems fine, she's been walking for awhile, waves bye, no words yet other than mom-mom-mom.</p> <p>Questions I should go in with next week? Anything else I should be looking out for? Anyone have similar stalls in height that were fine? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/peanut-parent#post-2786199 Mon, 13 Nov 2017 19:07:33 +0000 Ajsmommy 2786199@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If you had a small baby, percentile wise, did they remain in the lower percentiles as they got older or did they eventually bump up? If so when and by how much?</p> <p>DS is a peanut and before every appt I try to guess what percentile he'll be in and I'm always way wrong and he's way lower.</p> <p>We just had his 9 mos and he's 11th for weight and 15th for height. I was thinking 30th for both!!! DD who is 4 is in the 60th for both.......

Or did anyone's baby have low height percentile but end up being a taller toddler? </p> <p>My baby started in the 25% for height and then at her 6 month check up she was in the 20%. I'd like her to be a tall girl! I'm just amazed at how short she is. Her 9 month appointment is coming up soon so I hope she's grown! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/growth-percentiles#post-2720819 Thu, 06 Apr 2017 13:03:24 +0000 travellingbee 2720819@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My DH always laughs when people talk about the growth percentiles and he says, "Everyone's kid seems to be in the 99th%ile somehow!"

She's short at 25" and preciously plump at around 19 pounds. I love her chunks. She's having a little trouble with some clothes, though, and I'm so curious with how her weight and height are going to go as she grows. Will she keep gaining weight and no height?

We have a baby scale at home and he's 20 lbs these days. His last height check was at the doctor's office and he was 27 or 28 inches long. He feels so heavy these days! I saw a 30 lb one year old once and she looked like a chunky baby. My guy doesn't look like a chunky baby, but I kind of feel like he is. He's still filling out some of his 6-12 mos clothinh.</p> <p>How small or big is your baby?

They are both under the 5th percentile now at 11 months. At their 9 month check up, they were 10th or 4th percentile. </p> <p>They are healthy otherwise.

My Nana measured our heights on the inside of her closet. It's so fun to look back at it. I want to do that with my girls, but may do that Pinterest type giant ruler so if we ever move I can easily take it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-worry-about-your-kids-growth-charts#post-1904339 Thu, 16 Oct 2014 20:25:18 +0000 mrbee 1904339@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our daughter just turned three, and according to her wellness check she's in the 25th percentile for weight and ~50th percentile for height. What's been unexpected is that even though she isn't that tall, a lot of people comment that she seems tall! I think that's because she has a skinnier build, so that makes her seem taller. She seems to be on track overall, and I don't really worry about her growth chart too often.</p> <p>Our son is turning 5 in December, and is on the lower end for both height and weight. Lately though he's been gaining on both though, and I'm hoping that his next wellness check will bring him closer to the median! He used to be by far the smallest kid in his class (he's small and also a December baby), and now he seems to be closer to the average. We'll know more soon!</p> <p>Do you worry about your kids' growth charts? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/share-your-los-growth-charts#post-2603263 Fri, 12 Aug 2016 12:26:05 +0000 BSB 2603263@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Pink is DD and blue is DS.</p> <p>I don't focus on these a lot.

I wasn't doing a good job with measuring at the heel earlier in the year. :silly: </p> <p>Oh, I keep track of their stats at dr visits and each month for their monthly photo.</p> <p>Oh, the app (Total Baby) tracks it in their adjusted age since they were preemies.

I was interested to see on his chart that this fell around 75th percentile- so tall, but not super tall like I thought he was, probably because he outgrows pants all the time, lol! :wink: </p> <p>So just for fun, I thought I'd make a height poll for 3 year olds, if you know what your LO's height was around their birthday. I guess we should limit to boys, since they separate growth charts b/t boys and girls.</p> <p>Multiple votes enabled for multiple kids. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-each-of-your-babies-get-bigger-at-birth#post-2531086 Thu, 21 Apr 2016 14:16:10 +0000 winniebee 2531086@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It seems that most people's kids get bigger with each pregnancy/birth. Was that true for you?</p> <p>DS1 was 5lb5oz and 17.5 inches<br /> DS2 was 5lb6oz and 19 inches, so longer but not really heavier. </p> <p>I'll be curious to see if our third is any bigger, but I'm guessing he will also be small. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-percentile-is-your-lo-in#post-2531038 Thu, 21 Apr 2016 13:49:29 +0000 Bao 2531038@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For height and weight? </p> <p>I can't remember exactly for each girl but I know both are very petite so on track for them, but in the lower percentile for both of them.

I was honestly pretty shocked that it was so high! Even though she was born a big baby (99th percentile for both weight and height), we had a bit of trouble putting weight on her the first 18 months, and at her 18 month appointment she was only in the 20-25th percentile for weight and height.</p> <p>We were busy doing DS's two week check at the same time so I didn't really stop to ask any questions. I guess we just make sure she's staying active and eating balanced, but I'm curious if anyone else has been told this about their toddler and what you did/how it all worked out? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-weight-has-your-toddler-preschooler-gained-per-year#post-2495389 Tue, 15 Mar 2016 13:50:17 +0000 winniebee 2495389@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>T is a skinny kid.

We were referred to a pediatrician who checked him out and said that he seemed to be healthy, happy, and developmentally normal and that as long as he kept eating and didn't fall off the charts she wasn't worried. Now at 2 he's up to the 10th percentile, but my husband still worries about it A LOT. He's constantly entering his weight into various calculators and telling me "Oh, this one says he's only in the 7th! What did the doctor say?" It makes me crazy - I feel like as long as he's eating and hitting developmental milestones he's just a skinny kid (it also makes me crazy because my husband doesn't do anything re: cooking, feeding him, or actually going to his appointments). </p> <p>Do you worry about your child's weight and where they fall on the charts, or do you figure that as long as their doctors are happy and the kid seems happy they're fine? And does anybody have any resources they can point my husband to that will reassure him (or just make him shut up about it, I don't really care which)? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-big-was-your-baby-at-age-1#post-2418536 Tue, 12 Jan 2016 12:28:11 +0000 winniebee 2418536@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Really just curious more than anything else!
