How tall is your 2 month old baby girl?

Question

How tall is your 2 month baby? At
Birth mine was 19.5 inches and at her 2 month check up she was only 22 inches tall, which puts her at the 23rd percentile for height. Weight and head circumference wise she is in the 75th percentile so her doc isn’t worried. However, I can’t help but to worry😫. Anyone else baby this height around this age?also, does this mean there’s a good chance she will be very short as an adult?

Answer

I wouldn't worry. Birth height has a weak correlation with adult height.
 Research has shown that averaging mom and dad's height (minus 2 inches for a girl, plus 2 inches for a boy) is actually better at predicting someone's adult height than whatever size they were as an infant.

Answer

My daughter is almost the same.   I myself was in the like 80th percentile for weight and not even on the chart for height lol.  I was short and round as a baby lol.  I'm only 5'2" as an adult but I turned out fine.  The drs were never concerned.   So long as a baby is gaining and growing along their own curve the percentile means basically nothing.   What is important is consistent growth not what percentage they end up falling in.  
My eldest son is on the smaller side but a consistent percentile my friends have twin boys who are 6mo younger and several pounds heavier and 2 inches taller and again on a steady growth pattern so they're all healthy just different

Answer

babies are just little humans. humans come in all shapes and sizes. The same way there are shorter and smaller adults, babies are the same. nothing wrong with her at all, she’s just shorter :)
