If your baby was born very long....

Question

Has s/he grown very tall fast? Does it make much of a difference in the growth spurts? thanks..

Answer 1

My son was 21.5 inches long and hes almost 2 now and about 35 inches tall.  

Answer 2

My husband was 23 inches long when he was born.  But didn't hit a giant growth spurt until puberty.  He was actually shorter than most kids his age until he hit puberty.

Answer 3

My daughter is a little over 3 months, and she is really tall too. At 2 weeks she was in the 75th percentile for height and 25th percentile for weight. At 2 months she was 100th percentile for height, and 60th percentile for weight. So I would say that she has grown tall pretty fast. She's still growing really fast, and I'm really anxious for her next well-baby appointment to see what percentile she's in now.

I don't think it makes that much of a difference. All babies are different. Some grow really fast at the beginning and may average out later... some may not. Either way, if there's a problem, your pediatrician will let you know.

Answer 4

my son was 21.5 inches when he was born (4 months + ago) and now he is 25 inches.  he was 7/1 and now is 16/5

Answer 5

My youngest son was very large (11lbs 1oz and 22 inches long).  He just turned 1 and is as tall as his sister who just turned 2.  She and my oldest son were both born 21 inches though, so they were all "big" kids.  :)  I'm honestly not too sure how it effects their growth spurts.  All three of them have always been in the top percentile for height and weight.

Answer 6

no they will just continue to grow and grow my girl is 11 weeks and she has 3 more inches to go before i have to change her to the bigger car seat and she's going through another growth spurt. she's been the same size as a 5-6 month baby since she was 1 month old. and when she was born she didn't fit in the newborn clothes we got her (too small) she was in the 0-3 right away.i look at babies her age and i swear they are like half the size....

also she has allready doubled her birth weight... its amazing how fasst she grows. i can't say that yours will be the same, every baby is different. but a growth spurt is a growth spurt and your baby will grow fast.

congrats
