    Enter your child’s height in centimeters. The height should be between 20 cm and 200 cm, measured with 0.1 cm increments.

  5. Input Head Circumference (cm):

    Provide the head circumference of your child in centimeters. It should be between 20 cm and 100 cm, rounded to the nearest 0.1 cm.

Understanding the Results

After entering all the required information, the calculator will compute the following results:

  • Age in Months:

    Your child’s age in months will be displayed, calculated from the birth date you provided to today’s date.

  • Weight Percentile:

    This indicates the weight percentile, calculated based on the weight, age in months, and gender of your child.

  • Height Percentile:

    The height percentile is determined by the height, age in months, and gender of your child.

  • Head Circumference Percentile:

    This percentile shows how your child’s head circumference compares to others of the same age and gender.

  • BMI (Body Mass Index):

    The BMI is calculated by dividing your child’s weight in kg by the square of height in meters.

  • BMI Percentile:

    The BMI percentile is calculated using the BMI value, age in months, and gender to assess the BMI relative to peers.

Carefully review each of these results to understand your child’s growth metrics and how they compare to standard percentiles. Always consult with a healthcare provider for more detailed analysis or concerns regarding your child’s growth and development.
