Many people hear about a formula where you double the height of a child at 2 years of age to get their final adult height. I tell people that based on that formula, I should be 6 feet tall, and I am still waiting for my last growth spurt!</p> <p>There is a better "guess" for end adult height for children. This is based on a formula from Dr. John R. Welsey. I have told many people about this and decided the best way to get this to everybody was to post it on-line.</p> <p>Boys- height in centimeters at 3 years multiplied by 1.29 plus 54.9 cm.</p> <p>Adult height = Ht (cm) x 1.29 + 54.9 (cm)</p> <p>Girls- height in centimeters at 3 years multiplied by 1.29 plus 42.3 cm.</p> <p>Adult height = Ht (cm) x 1.29 + 42.3 (cm)</p> <p>Enjoy, but realize that I still have a few inches to grow to get to my final adult height based on this formula, too!"</p> <p>At 2 my son was/is 33.8 inches. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-tall-was-your-lo-when-they-were-two-years-old#post-600986 Thu, 28 Feb 2013 13:58:33 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 600986@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Lala would be less than 5 feet tall when all was said and done. This doesn't work for our family though because we are constitutionally growth delayed. So I grew 4 inches in college and my grandpa grew a full 6 inches after high school. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-tall-was-your-lo-when-they-were-two-years-old#post-600982 Thu, 28 Feb 2013 13:56:55 +0000 chopsuey 600982@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>At 23 months LO is about 35 inches tall!<br /> Yes! I wanted her to be 5'9-5'10 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-tall-was-your-lo-when-they-were-two-years-old#post-600964 Thu, 28 Feb 2013 13:53:00 +0000 Andrea 600964@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Interesting. That would mean that DD will be 5'7, not bad. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-tall-was-your-lo-when-they-were-two-years-old#post-599592 Thu, 28 Feb 2013 10:19:42 +0000 anbanan15 599592@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I hope this is not true! I don't think LO has grown much in height lately. He would be a really short male </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-tall-was-your-lo-when-they-were-two-years-old#post-599469 Thu, 28 Feb 2013 10:01:20 +0000 prettylizy 599469@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've read about this too!! She's not quite 1 yet, but I fully plan on measuring her at 2 to get an idea :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-tall-was-your-lo-when-they-were-two-years-old#post-599464 Thu, 28 Feb 2013 10:00:30 +0000 mrbee 599464@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Someone recently told me that if you double the height of your child at two years of age, that's their height when they grow up!</p> <p>Some random person on the web tested this with some numbers (not sure where s/he got them from), and came back with this:</p> <p>&lt;&lt; The male height at 240 months is 2.04 times the height at 24 months.<br /> The female height at 240 months is 1.92 times the height at 24 months. [1] &gt;&gt;</p> <p>Uh oh... I don't think Charlie was very tall when he was two! Let's hope that theory isn't true!!</p> <p>How tall was your LO when they were two years old? What's their predicted final height? :)</p> <p>[1] <a href="http://msgboard.snopes.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=76;t=000553;p=1" rel="nofollow">http://msgboard.snopes.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=76;t=000553;p=1</a> </p>
