Common Questions and Answers about Normal weight percentile
weight
My daughter weighed.almost 2 pounds. The 60 percentile thing is just to see where your babys weight is compared to other babies.
My son was only in the 5th percentile starting at 24 wks. They put me on bed rest and told me to eat and eat some more :/. That was my last pregnancy, and he ended up getting to a healthy weight by birth. With you being 37 wks already I'm sure your dr wants to induce to be able to find out why your baby isn't growing and to fill him/her up with nutrients.
At 13, most teenagers are well into puberty and may be in the middle of or about to embark on growth spurts. Their height and weight may go through many changes in their teen years.
According to the Centers for Disease Control, the average height for a 13-year-old girl is 5'1 3/4". Girls' normal height can range from 4'11 1/4" at the 10th percentile to 5' 5 3/4" at the 90th percentile.
His weight is at 93rd percentile. Since your son is also pretty high up on the weight percentile for his age AND everything seems normal PLUS his scan is normal I think you have absolutely nothing to worry about. My sons pediatrician assured me everything is normal with my son he is just going to grow along the 90's percentile growth curve.Hope my story helps.
My girl was 1 pound and something ounces at 20wks...I'm now 25wks or 26wks. So i think it's normal. They said she is in the 55 percentile. And that's good.
All his blood tests are normal. He is below the 3rd percentile growth curve in height and weight. He was a vaginal delivery and not premature.
I’m wondering if any of you had a child like this and whether that child ended up growing well later on in his or her teenage years. Thanks very much!
It's a good weight just on the lower end of weight scale that's what my son was measuring and was 44th percentile I am 37 plus 2 now she said at 40 weeks he would weigh 6 and a half to 7 lbs but what they really watch for is if the growth is slowing down or the same my son went from 5th percentile to 44th in 3 weeks
Ok, so percentiles are based on the average of the weights of babies. So as babies in general get bigger where a certain weight of baby is changes. So, say a 7 pound baby was in the 8th percentile a few generations ago, but now because of better prenatal care they are in the 4th percentile (I made these numbers up). Also, since these numbers are based on birth weights of actual babies, by default someone has to be at the bottom.
When a child's weight and height are within the growth charts, they are consisted normal. Your daughter's weight is at the 90th percentile (near the top of the growth chart) with a lower height so the BMI may indicate an overweight child when she really is not. You should be concerned if her weight goes above the 95th percentile (‘off the growth chart’). Right now she is fine as long as she is growing at a steady rate.
m 32wks and 4days and had my ultrasound today and was told my baby is measuring in the 59 percentile and estimated weight is 4.8lbs but it could easily be more or less.
4 pounds at 30 weeks in 59th percentile so is a normal weight. Sounds like the tech was just having a joke with you. :) best of luck.
Im 34+6 wks and was told baby is in 23 percentile and weighs 5lbs 3 oz. They said 23 percentile was normal but didnt go into additional detail as to what that means?
I replotted his measurements and you are correct his height is at 75th percentile and his weight is between the 10-25th percentile which indicates his is normal for his age. He is not underweight. If you are still concerned, then suggest the above recommendations.
If she is 16kgs, then her weight is on the 25th percentile for her age and she is normal. Some children are smaller then others in the same family. Thank you for your question.
His weight is on the 10th percentile and his height is on the 25th percentile for his age which indicates he is normal. Was he on medication for his asthma recently? Some medications for asthma causes water retention, weight increases; and when it is discontinued weight decreases. He has numerous health issues. Suggest bringing him to his primary MD and have a complete physical done.
Please accept my apologies, however, his height is between 50-25th percentile and his weight is on the 10th percentile. He is still within the Growth Chart and normal for his age. Still recommend what I stated to help him gain weight.
Your son is just about at the 50th percentile for weight and a bit above the 60th percentile for height.
Her weight is just above the 50th percentile and her height is just below the 25th percentile for her age. She is normal for her age and she is not underweight. If she does not eat meat then give her other protein foods instead, all dairy products (milk, cheese, macaroni & cheese, pudding, ice cream); protein combinations (rice and beans, beans with vegetables, beans with pasta or peanut butter sandwich). Also try fish and shellfish.
By your current weight you're definitely normal. By this stage you should have gained at least 12 to 15 pounds so it's not that you're eating too much. Definitely don't eat less unless the doctor tells you to.
