This app uses WHO tables and data for weight for age calculations. The calculator is valid for babies, infants, toddlers and preschoolers with an age range of birth to five years.
This calculator provides your child's weight percentile based on age. The percentile shows how your child's weight compares to other children. The percentile tells you what percentage of babies weigh less than your child. For example out of a sample of 100 babies, a percentile value of 40 percent means your child weighs more than 40 babies and weighs less than the other 60 babies.
A percentile of 50% represents the average or mean weight. A value below 50 percent means a child weighs less than the average. A value greater than 50 percent means a child is above average. This does not mean your child is overweight or underweight. A doctor or physician should be consulted to determine weight status.
