Average weight and growth chart for babies, toddlers, and kids

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.
