Percentiles and baby weight?
Hey ladies,
I have an almost 4 month old who was born at 37 weeks and 1 day. Now I don’t understand these percentiles lol. My obgyn never talked percentiles and neither did my MFM. We kind of just went by weight? My daughter was born 4lbs 10oz, and was 4lbs 7oz when we left the hospital. At 2 weeks old she was 5 lbs 10 oz. and at 2 1/2 months she was 10lbs 7oz. Now since I said I don’t understand these percentiles, does anyone know what percentile she could be in? I check chatgpt 🤣 but it doesn’t really give me an accurate answer.

The only way I know/understand my daughters percentiles is by using the huckleberry app and logging her growth and seeing what it says underneath 🤣
There’s nothing she should really be in, as long as it’s not super low or super high. Say she’s at the 50th percentile for weight, right in the middle, that would mean on average 49 babies weigh less than her and 49 babies weigh more than her. It’s the average out of 100 babies.
