As a parent, tracking your baby’s growth is essential. From weight and height to head circumference, you want to confirm your baby is developing healthily. The easiest way to do this is with a baby percentile calculator. PingMeDoc provide a simple and reliable tool to help you monitor your baby’s growth when comparing to other babies of the same age.
What is a Baby Growth Percentile Calculator?
A baby percentile calculator compares your baby’s growth (weight, height, head circumference) to standard growth charts( IAP & WHO).
For example, if your baby is in the 70th percentile for weight, it means they weigh more than 70% of babies of the same age.

Date of Birth
Weight (kg )
Height (cm )
Head circumference (optional)
Our tool uses WHO and IAP growth charts to provide:
Percentile rankings for weight, height, and head circumference
Comparisons with the average growth for babies of the same age and gender
This tool helps you to track your baby’s development and know when to consult a pediatrician doctor.
