      Normal Growth

      Toddler measuring himself with a drawn ruler on a wall.

      What is considered a normal growth rate?

      Growth involves not only the length and weight of a body, but also includes internal growth and development.

      Normal growth is categorized in a range used by pediatricians to gauge how a child is growing. The following are some average ranges of weight and height, based on growth charts developed by the CDC:

      Age

      Height - Females

      (in inches)

      Height - Males

      (in inches)

      Weight - Females

      Although a child may be growing, his or her growth pattern may deviate from the norm. Ultimately, the child should grow to normal height by adulthood. If you suspect your child or adolescent is not growing properly, always talk with your child's healthcare provider.
