What to do with the information?
You should keep a note of the measurements you have and the date they were taken so that you can see how much your child is growing over time. The information can be plotted on a growth chart which will show you what centile your child is on.

Does family height affect your child growth?
Parents height is one of the important factors when considering how a child is growing.
A mid-parental height is calculated to help assess whether your child is growing as would be expected for your family size. You can input your information into an online calculator to tell you what your family mid-parental height is. If you’re still not sure, please contact us at the Child Growth Foundation.
How often should I measure my child?
We would recommend that you leave at least 6 months between measurements so you can build a picture of how your child is growing.
It’s not always just about how much they are growing, but also the rate at which they are growing.
What do I do if I’m worried, or have more questions about my child’s growth?
Please speak to your GP about your concerns, or you can contact our Support Line via email at support@childgrowthfoundation.orgor by phone on 020 8995 0257.
