Percentile Question
What does it all mean?
Like when you go for growth sonos and they tell you your baby is in the 57th percentile. I was trying to understand the percentage, does anyone know?

Re: Percentile Question
A percentile tells you the number is higher than that percent of people. So if the baby is in the 57th percentile then they are bigger than about 57% of all babies.

Re: Percentile Question
A percentile tells you how your baby compares to other babies of the same gestational age. If you're in the 60th percentile for weight, that means that your baby is bigger than 60% of other babies, but 40% are bigger than yours.
