Average Height to Weight for Female Babies

Babies come in all shapes and sizes. If a baby’s weight is in a lower - or higher - percentile, this does not necessarily signal a problem with their growth or physical development. A weight chart can help you track your baby’s growth, as steady weight gain is a sign that your baby is healthy and feeding well.

Average Height to Weight for Female Children - 2 to 12 Years

A ten-year-old girl will weigh around 70. 5 pounds (31.9 kilograms) on average by age ten. Girls can weigh anywhere from 53 to 102 pounds and yet be deemed healthy because of the wide variety of weight differences among children of this age. All children grow at different rates, and it's normal for weight and height to vary significantly between kids of the same age. What's more important is that your child is growing steadily.

Average Height to Weight for Teenage Girls - 13 to 20 Years

Both genetic and environmental factors influence height and weight. Teenage children's average height and weight vary by gender, age, race, ethnicity, and nationality. Throughout childhood, a child's body begins to become more proportional. On average, girls commence puberty around ages 10 to 11 and end puberty around 15 to 17. Adolescent girls typically experience dramatic changes in weight, bone composition, height, and body fat distribution - especially through their pubescent years.

Average Height to Weight for Male Children - 2 to 12 Years

There is quite often a sudden spurt of growth in boys between 9 to 15 years of age, with a gain in weight of 8 to 10 pounds per year. However, it is important to keep in mind that many children in this age group are experiencing a pubertal growth spurt, and it may appear they are overweight (by weight-for-age) when, in fact; they are just tall.

Male Children: 2 - 12 Years

Average Height to Weight for Teenage Boys - 13 to 20 Years

Boys start puberty around age 11 to 12 and end around 16 to 17. Youth and teenagers often have growth spurts during their growing years; during puberty, your body will grow faster than at any other time in your life. During this period, it is possible to gain and lose weight rapidly and add inches to their height - seemingly overnight.

Every baby, child, and teenager is different in how they mature and grow during their teen years. Dieting for teens is not recommended, as quite often you will find they will simply "grow out" of their "baby fat" as they mature into young adults. Your pediatrician or family physician is the best person to consult if you are worried about your child's height-to-weight ratio, as a doctor can use a medical growth chart to keep track of their progress as they mature.

Height and weight chart from newborn to 8 years: Average child and baby weight by age

In the United States, the average baby weighs just over 7 pounds (3 kg) at birth. Where does your child fall on the growth charts and what happens next? This article covers average height and weight for kids from birth to age 8, factors that affect growth, and what growth percentiles mean.

Lots of parents wonder whether their child is bigger or smaller than other kids their age. The charts below give you an idea of how your child's weight and height (or length, for babies) compare to the average weight and height of kids in their age group.

The numbers in these charts are just a benchmark. It's likely your child's weight and height are higher or lower than the average. If so, don't worry – it doesn't mean there's anything wrong.

Children grow at different rates, and it's normal for weight and height to vary significantly between kids of the same age. What's more important is that your child is growing steadily.

The doctor will weigh and measure your child during each well-child visit to make sure their growth is on track. (They'll also measure your baby's head circumference, which provides information about their growing brain). Be sure to talk with the doctor if you have any concerns about your child's growth.

For more, personalized information about how your child compares to other children in size, and to track your child's height and weight over time, check out our child height and weight tracker.

Average baby weight and length chart by month

In the United States, the average baby weighs just over 7 pounds at birth. Girls (at 7 pounds, 1 ounce/3.2 kg) are a bit smaller than boys (at 7 pounds 8 ounces/3.4 kg) on arrival. The average newborn is 19 1/2 inches (49.5 cm) long, with girls measuring 19.4 inches (49.2 cm) and boys measuring 19.7 inches (49.9 cm).

While most babies lose weight during the first few days of life, within a couple of weeks they're back to their birth weight. Until 3 months old, most babies gain about an ounce each day. By 4 months old, most babies have doubled their birth weight, and by 1 year, most have tripled it. Most babies also grow about 10 inches (25 cm) by their first birthday.

Keep in mind that babies and children have growth spurts, too – which means that growth isn't always a gradual, predictable process. Just when you start to wonder whether your child has grown enough lately, they may climb the charts!

The data in the charts below comes from the World Health Organization (WHO) for children younger than 2 and the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) for children age 2 and older.

The CDC recommends that healthcare providers use the WHO growth charts to monitor growth for infants and children ages 0 to 2 years, and use the CDC growth charts for those 2 years and older. The WHO charts are based on healthy growth patterns for breastfed children and are endorsed by the CDC and the American Academy of Pediatrics.

Quick tip: For babies born prematurely, use their adjusted age rather than chronological age when you look up their numbers on this chart. (Adjusted age is the age your baby would be if they had been born full term.)

What factors can affect my child's weight and height?

Your child's genes are the biggest factor determining how tall they'll get and how heavy they'll be. But there are other factors, too:

Gestation. If your baby arrived after their due date, they may be larger than average, and if they were born prematurely, they'll probably be smaller. (Because multiples are typically born early, they tend to be smaller, too.)
Your pregnancy health. If you smoked, used drugs, or didn't eat well during pregnancy, you're more likely to give birth to a smaller baby. If you gained a great deal of weight during pregnancy or had gestational diabetes, you're more likely to give birth to a larger baby.
Sex: Baby girls are typically a little smaller (length and weight) at birth than baby boys.
Breastfed or formula fed. In their first year, breastfed babies gain weight more slowly than formula-fed babies. (For the first few months, the breastfed babies actually grow more quickly, but by 3 months old this changes.) By age 2, breastfed and formula-fed babies weigh about the same.
Hormones. If your child has a hormone imbalance, such as low growth hormone levels or a low thyroid level, it could slow their growth.
Medications. Certain medications, such as regular use of corticosteroids, might slow growth.
Health issues. If your child has a chronic illness (such as cancer, kidney disease, or cystic fibrosis), or any disorder affecting their ability to eat or absorb nutrients (such as gastrointestinal problems), their growth might be slowed.
Genetic conditions. Your child's general genetic makeup affects their growth. So could having certain genetic conditions – such as Down syndrome, Noonan syndrome, or Turner syndrome.
Sleep. Growth spurts in babies are related to increases in sleep. One study found that getting more sleep directly increases a baby's probability of growing more in length. In fact, growth spurts occurred within 48 hours after added sleep.

What do growth chart percentiles mean?

Baby growth charts give you a general idea of how your child is growing. They use percentiles to compare your baby's growth to other babies of the same age and sex.

The charts show the height and weight (or length, for babies) for children of both sexes in the 50th percentile, which is the average. Anything higher means your child is larger than average. Anything lower means they're smaller than average.

For example, the average weight for a 2-month-old girl is 11 pounds 4 ounces. If your 2-month-old daughter weighs 13 pounds, she's heavier than average. The average length is 22.5 inches, so if your daughter is 20 inches long at 2 months, she's shorter than average.

Your doctor will normally calculate your child's weight and height as a percentile. If your child is in the 75th percentile for weight, for example, that means 75 percent of children their age and sex weigh less, and 25 percent weigh more.

Your child's chart numbers can provide their doctor with valuable information at each well-child visit. The doctor will be looking to see that your child's growing appropriately, that there aren't dramatic changes (from the 75th percentile to the 25th percentile, for example), and that your child's numbers are in an appropriate range for their age.

If one of your child's measurements is below the 10th percentile or above the 90th percentile, their doctor may want to determine why and monitor your child's growth carefully. In general, though, your child's growth pattern over time is more important than where they fall on the chart in terms of percentages.

Tables of weight and height of the child by months and by years.

For boys and for girls.

The height and weight of a child are the main indicators of his physical development. That is why immediately after the birth of the baby, it is imperative to measure the weight of his body and the length of the body and continue to weigh himself daily at the same time until discharge from the hospital.

There are many factors that affect the physical development of a child, for example:0010

nutrition (it's no secret that a deficiency of nutrients, vitamins and minerals slows down the growth and development of a child) diseases often lag behind their peers in physical development)

psychological situation in the family, at school, lack of sleep, etc.

How to understand what is the norm?

The All-Russian Health Organization recommended special tables for matching the height and weight of children, or as they are called, centile tables. At each examination, the pediatrician measures the height and weight of the child, compares the obtained values \u200b\u200bwith the standard indicators. Such tables allow you to identify obvious pathologies, for a more accurate analysis, the doctor calculates additional indicators using special formulas.

Deviations of weight or height from tabular values

There is no need to panic if there is a minimal discrepancy with the indicated values in the table, and here's why:

First of all, the child's height and weight charts contain reference indicators , what should ideally be the weight and height of the child, without taking into account many other factors . Sometimes parents of premature babies mistakenly use a standard table for comparison, while there are special tables for assessing the development of children born prematurely.
The rate of growth and weight gain for each child is unique . In the first year of life, babies develop in leaps and bounds. For example, during the period of introducing complementary foods, the weight of the baby may not reach the “norm” due to adaptation to a new type of food, and not because of pathology.

This does not mean that deviations from the norm should be ignored , but it is better to regard them as an occasion to pay attention and consult a specialist in order to identify possible health problems, or to make sure that they are not present.

What can cause obvious deviations from the norm?

Earlier we talked about minor deviations from the norm and that there is no need to be scared if your child is not growing and gaining weight strictly according to the chart. But what to do if the values of the essential have gone beyond the limits of the permissible parameters , or are they at the intersection of norm and pathology?

Reasons for possible deviations can be divided into two groups:

1. Non-endocrine:

Constitutional growth retardation . Or in another way, the syndrome of late puberty. One of the variants of the norm, when the puberty jump occurs later than in other children.
Family stunting . It has a hereditary predisposition, in the family of such children there are relatives with short stature. Growth retardation manifests itself from early childhood.
Prematurity, intrauterine and postnatal injuries.
Genetic syndromes . As a rule, they have many clinical manifestations, one of which is growth retardation.
Chronic diseases of the cardiovascular, bronchopulmonary systems, gastrointestinal tract, as well as anemia.
Fasting .
Taking certain medications .

2. Endocrine:

Growth hormone deficiency . Biologically active substance, which is the main regulator of the growth process after 2 years.
Deficiency of thyroid hormones . More often of a congenital nature, it is clinically characterized by a delay in physical and intellectual development from birth.
Type 1 diabetes mellitus . A disease in which, due to insulin deficiency, the flow of glucose into the cells of the body is impaired, the so-called. "starvation" of cells, as a result, growth rates slow down.
Itsenko-Cushing's disease (or syndrome) . At the same time, the production of hormones of the adrenal cortex, glucocorticoids, is increased, which in large doses leads to a violation of the secretion of growth hormone.
Rickets . A lack of vitamin D leads to bone destruction and skeletal deformities, which in turn is manifested, among other things, by a decrease in growth.
Other rare disorders of the endocrine system.

As you can see, there are a lot of reasons.

If the child's growth is stunted, parents should consult a doctor to identify the causes of short stature and correct it in a timely manner.

Which specialist should I contact? First, you should make an appointment with a pediatrician. Also, in most cases, consultation with a pediatric endocrinologist is required.

Remember that for the normal growth of the child you need a complete, balanced diet with enough vitamins and minerals, as well as dosed physical activity.

age, weight, height — vesit-skolko.ru

Each child lives according to his own individual program of height and weight. However, there are statistics that give an idea of what the average weight of children is like. Also, there are recommendations from doctors who offer optimal values for height, weight, and their ratio.

We compared the data obtained by statistical means and the recommendations of doctors, it turned out that they practically coincide with a difference not exceeding 3%.

So, the data given in the table are the optimal values for the height and weight of the child. Please note that the values for boys and girls are slightly different.

How to use the table

How much should a 1 year old baby weigh?: In the left column, look for a line with the text 1 year. On the right will be weight in kilograms (boy 10,300 / girl 9,500) and height (75.5 / 73.8) in centimeters.

Weight estimate

A child's weight deviation of 6-7% from those indicated in the table is an absolute norm.

A greater weight deviation of up to 12-14% indicates a tendency to overweight or underweight.

Weight deviation above 12-14% indicates slight overweight or underweight.

A weight deviation of more than 20-25% indicates overweight and underweight, perhaps in this case a small nutritional correction, carried out solely on the recommendation of a doctor, will be useful.

For a more accurate weight estimate, use our calculator or professional centile charts for height, weight or body mass index.

Growth assessment

The deviation of the child's height within 3% of those indicated in the table is the absolute norm.

If there is a growth deviation of more than 10%, it makes sense to consult a doctor.

For a more accurate estimate of growth, use our calculator.

Adequate assessment of the height and weight of the child

In general, the norm indicators for each child are different. Approximately 10% of children will have weight and height indicators outside the proposed assessment range and for them this will be the norm.
