Length is between the 50 and 75 percentiles
Weight is between 10 and 25

Are you small? Is she growing at a regular rate? Is she hitting other developmental milestones on time? Weight is dependent on so many things.. my 3 year old weighs 24 pounds and she's healthy. None of my kids were ever 20 pounds before they were a year old. I'm 5'2" and petite. As long as your child is following a consistant curve, they're fine. If your baby starts in the 95th percentile, stays there and then all the sudden drops off the chart, that would be a good time to panic. Losing an ounce is a matter of sweating in a day, or peeing too much, or drinking less.. any number of things. Cancer should be the farthest thing from your mind unless there's sort of other symptoms.. elevated white blood cells, unexplained bruises, paleness, unhealthy appearance..

Growth Percentile Calculator
Based on the data you submitted, your child falls into the following percentiles:
Length = between percentile 50 and 75
Weight = between percentile 10 and 25
What do the percentiles mean?
If your child is in the 20th percentile for weight, for example, he weighs more than 20 percent of children his age and less than the other 80 percent. To gain a better understanding of what growth percentile results mean, click here if you have a child (ages 0-12 months), and click here if you have a toddler (ages 12-36 months).
Our Growth Percentile Calculator is a general educational tool only; it is not the last word on how your child is growing. This calculator is not a substitute for having a physician monitor your child's growth during regularly scheduled examinations. If you have any questions about your child's growth patterns, please ask your child's doctor.
These percentiles were compiled using the latest growth chart data from the National Center for Health Statistics, U.S. Public Health Service (released in November 2000). The numbers are based on five health surveys done in the United States between 1963 and 1994. The data takes into account the combined growth patterns of babies from all races and ethnicities and those who have been breast- and formula-fed. Past growth charts, which were widely used by pediatricians since 1977 and adopted by the World Health Organization for international use since 1978, were often criticized because they were based on data from a single study of primarily formula-fed, white, middle-class infants in a limited geographic area of southwestern Ohio.

Going by 12 months of age, she would be in 50% for length, 25% for height.

You need to post her age, too. If she's seven and that small, then I'd say you have a problem. If she's four months and that big, again, a problem. How old is she?

She's still within the normal range. Don't be worried! Ask your pediatrician if there is anything you should watch for.

If worried, seek out your pediatrician &/or a nutritionist/dietician.

How old is she? How big was she when she was born? Is she breast or formula fed (different charts)?
