height centile- please explain!
Evie was measured for the first time yesterday at her 8 week check. The doctor said she was on the 25th centile for height and made some comment that 'she wont be very big'
i am 5ft 6 and hubby is 5ft 11, i would never expect her to be really tall but surely she would be average height like me? the docs comment has got me thinking she is going to be tiny?
she is on the 50th centile for weight which is bang on average isnt it?
can someone explain what the 25th centile for height means? ?

My lo (14months) is only on 9th centile for weight but nearly on the 75th for height.
She's only 8 weeks so will have growth spurts on both her height & weight. As long as she doesn't drop a couple of centile lines (so my hv says) and grows along the lines everything is fine.
These centile charts have every mum worried at some point.
