Baby height scale?

The real reply from the in-app AI advisor

For height scale, the most common reference is the World Health Organization's (WHO) growth curves based on healthy breastfed babies. Average values are as follows:

Birth: approximately 50 cm

3 months: approximately 60 cm

6 months: approximately 66 cm

9 months: approximately 71 cm

12 months: approximately 75 cm

18 months: approximately 82 cm

24 months: approximately 87 cm

These values may vary by 1–2 cm between baby girls and baby boys, and in a healthy baby, height can run above or below these averages depending on genetics, nutrition, and overall health status. What matters is not a single measurement value but the consistency in the baby's own growth curve. If your baby's height is noticeably outside the percentile curves or you want it evaluated with weight gain, I recommend consulting your pediatrician.
