The baby height percentile curve is one of the growth reference tables created by the World Health Organization (WHO) by collecting height measurements from healthy babies in different countries. The curve shows the statistical distribution of height measurements from thousands of babies of the same age and gender. A percentile indicates what percentage of same-age babies are shorter than yours—for example, the 50th percentile is the exact middle, while below the 3rd or above the 97th percentile may warrant closer monitoring. However, a single measurement matters less than growth rate (the path your curve follows) over time. Turkey's Health Ministry uses WHO percentile curves in baby health booklets, with regular height measurement and tracking on this curve recommended at routine checkups.
