Percentiles in weight and length?

Question

Ok my little girl is 9 months old and in her length they say she is in the 75 and 90 percentile and in her weight she is in 50 and 75, does that mean she is bigger than kids her age or what?

Answer 1

This is how I look at it, if you had 100 9 month old babies in a row from longest to shortest, your daughter would be somewhere between the 75 and 90 baby along. She would be around the 50 - 75 for weight. Tall and slim sounds ideal to me.

Answer 2

It means she is taller than average and close to if not bigger than average with weight. Not a bad thing. My son was always 90 percent for height and 50 for weight.
