Simply enter his weight, height and the date you took these measurements, and the app will make the calculations automatically. You can also generate a growth trend chart by clicking the Trends button at the top.

It is calculated by LifeBetterOrganized.com based on growth chart data provided by the United States Center for Disease Control and Prevention.

What does "percentile" mean?
It is a number that shows where a child is compared with his peers On the growth charts, the percentiles are shown as lines drawn in curved patterns. For example, if your 3-month-old son's weight percentile is 40, that means 40 percent of 3-month-old boys weigh the same as or less than your baby, and 60 percent weigh more. The higher the percentile number, the bigger your child is compared to other babies his age.

What are Growth Charts?
The Growth Charts show how your child is growing over time. The lines connect the percentiles at each date when you took measurements. Growth charts have been used by pediatricians, nurses and parents to track the growth of infants, children and adolescents. Percentile charts are plotted based on data provided by United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

What can my child's growth chart tell me?
It can give you a general picture of how your child is developing physically. LifeBetterOrganized.com compares his measurements - weight, length, BMI and Bodyfat - to averages for children of the same age and sex. Measurements taken over a period of time help you to understand the growth pattern of your child.
13
My child's percentile is less than 10. Isn't that too small?
This doesn't necessarily mean there is anything wrong with your baby. If both parents are shorter than average, it would be perfectly normal for their child to also rank in a lower percentile for height and weight as he grows up. However, if you are concerned about your child's growth, please consult his health care provider.

When should I worry?
If you are concerned about your child's growth percentile, please consult his health care provider by taking printout of the charts.

How to best use the Custom Data feature?

This tab allows you to create your own tracking categories to meet the specific needs of your child, from medical data and exercise logs to reading and homework.

For example, if your child has diabetes, he needs to check his blood sugar level several times a day. So you would create a Custom Data tab for blood sugar, which will chart readings by date, time, what and when he ate prior to the test, letting you see immediately where changes in his diet or schedule need to be made. Detailed records such as this will be invaluable to his physicians, teachers and advisers, too.
