Baby height calculation from parents?

Maiyko AI ADVISOR

The real reply from the in-app AI advisor

The most commonly used method to predict adult height of babies is based on a formula using average of parents' heights. It does not give a precise result but provides an idea about genetic potential.

For girls: (Mother's height + Father's height – 13) / 2

For boys: (Mother's height + Father's height + 13) / 2

Centimeters are used in the formula. The resulting value is the average of the target height range; the actual height may show a deviation of plus/minus 8-10 cm depending on factors like nutrition and health. Tracking regularly during infancy and childhood, yearly growth rate is a more valuable indicator.
