The real reply from the in-app AI advisor

A height chart is a reference range showing the expected height for a baby based on age and sex. In Turkey, the Ministry of Health uses percentile curves and World Health Organization (WHO) standards.

Generally, a healthy baby grows about 25 cm in the first year and 12-13 cm in the second year. Being below the 3rd percentile or above the 97th percentile doesn't always mean a problem; what matters is that your baby shows steady growth along their own curve.

Baby's height, weight, and head circumference are all evaluated together. Rather than a single measurement, the rate of growth over time is more meaningful. If your baby's height drops below their percentile curve in two consecutive measurements or isn't growing at all, it's worth discussing with your pediatrician.
