This growth chart for boys gives the measurement range between the 3rd and 97th percentile of the WHO growth standards for baby boys. Checking that your baby fits into this range can reassure you that he is within the normal range of height, weight and head circumference measurements for his age.

At Apollo Cradle & Children’s Hospital, we always advise parents that, to track whether your baby boy is growing adequately over time, you will need to use a chart that shows his growth curve and percentile. A children’s height weight chart is only an indicator of your baby boy’s healthy development. As long as your child is playful and energetic, there is no reason to worry. However, if you have hesitations about your baby boy’s growth and development, contact us for skilled medical consultation and counselling.
