Can you say that your child will be tall when he/she gets older just because they are long as a baby? Has anyone here had a longer than average baby who grew up to be average height? Im just curious if my daughter will be model tall.Her doctor said she is in the 90th percentile for her legnth... Thanx in advanced

Double your childs height when she's 2 1/2, that will give you her height full grown.

It's kinda funny, but all three of my children were the exact length 21" when they were born. My eldest son, who will be eight in Feb is on the short side now compared to other kids his age, my daughter who will be four in March is tall compared to other kids her age. My youngest son who will be seven months on the fifteenth of Jan was 26 in. when he went in for his six month check and was in the 80th percentile so maybe he'll be tall too. I have heard that if you take their height when they are two and a half and double it, that is how tall they will be as an adult, don't know if it is true or not. It is hard to say about anything what will happen when they are adults. Enjoy her while she is small and best of luck to you.

These numbers aren't alway right. At 2 1/2, my son was in the 50 %ile. At 20, he is 6' 2".
He was born at 20 1/2 inches, not long at all.
