Toddlers

Growth in toddlers (age 1-4 years)

Overview

Your little baby has all of a sudden become a toddler, and it seems out of nowhere! The last year has been a blur of health visits, doctors and vaccinations! Over the last year you have probably been good at keeping up with your baby’s growth but you may be wondering if you child is where you would expect them to be for their age.

As a reference, from 1 to 4 years of age, children grow at a rate of about 10 cm per year.

Calculate your child’s growth

Check if your toddler is growing as expected. It is important to keep track of your child’s growth in order to identify if there is a problem early on. We recommend measuring your child every 6 months, which is now easier with our simple to use growth calculator.

Get prepared for talking to your doctor

If you are concerned about your child’s growth, don’t hesitate to speak with an HCP. They will be able to complete some measurements and investigate further if needed, potentially referring you on to a specialist. Here we can help you plan for both conversations.
