Is there a site you use to plug in birth date, height, and weight to get a percentile? I keep finding the ones with curves, but I'd just like a computed answer easy to see. I want to double check the %'s I get from the BabyConnect app. I just don't seem to believe the Baby Connect percentiles. They seem off to me?

I use this one!
-
@runsyellowlites: Thanks! Those percentiles came out to be the same as the Baby Connect ones! I guess I am just having a hard time believing K is in the 76th percentile for height and 18th percentile for weight! She doesn't seem that tall or skinny to me. lol!
-
@shopaholic: I use one but it is a little off I think?
The doctor gave me LO's exact weight and height at the last appointment and told me he was 65% for each.
I went home and out of pure curiosity, I double checked it with Babycenter.com and Babycenter said he was 50% for each. So....15% off! I am going with my doctor. But, I do sometime still use the percentile calc on Babycenter in between doctor's appointments. -
Thanks for sharing!! I was curious about this because our pedi only tells us what percentage his weight/height increased from the last measurement was.
-
@shopaholic: your doctor doesn't give you percentiles?
-
@shopaholic: It's what I preferred to use b/c our pedi used the CDC charts (what comes with most of their office programs).
-
@Smurfette: He told me at our 4 month visit, but she gets weighed and measured at each appt. and we go a lot since we're spacing out her vaccines. So it's not a usual "office visit" so he just stops in to say "Hi".
-
@shopaholic: gotcha'
-
@shopaholic: Are you using the right chart on Baby Connect? You can set it to either WHO or CDC.
FWIW, We get an after visit summery from all of DS's doctors with his stats on at each appointment. I also always put his info right in Baby Connect right when the nurse says it and the percentiles between the summery and BC always line up.
-
What are her stats again? Isn't she like 26 inches? L was 26 1/2 at 4 months and that was 90-something percentile...
-
@anbanan15: oh! IDK that you could set that! But which one should I use?
@travellingbee: yes. She's 26" but 5 months+ or 24 weeks.
-
@shopaholic: if she's breastfed WHO is what you want
-
@anbanan15: thanks!!!
