Different percentiles, should I be concerned?
DS is measuring 50th percentile on everything, head, weight, height so I'm perfectly fine with it. DD is measuring 25th on head, 50th on weight and 90th on height. Should I be concerned that she is in 3 different percentiles?? Or is it OK since she is still 'on the charts'?

Re: Different percentiles, should I be concerned?
Thank you!! I agree, but am pretty biased ;-) They're just discovering their hands now and it's all I can do to keep them out of their faces!
Thank you!!! I keep telling myself, they were almost a month early also... She looks perfect to me
I agree with Chickandtaco - as long as they're staying relatively on their curves, that's what the docs are looking for.
Also know, too, that even as infants the growth curves are different for boys and girls. So if their stats and percentiles are different, that's ok too.
Yep, ditto this as well.
My boys' growth curves have changed over time; they gained so rapidly the first few months. Will has always been about 50th for height and 11th-30th for HC but in weight he's been all over the place from 17th (birth) to 90th (3m) but leveled off by about 12m and has been around 25th for weight since then. Alex has always been around 70th for height and 40th for HC. Weight-wise he was chunkier than Will for a long time but now has leveled off around 40th for weight, so it looks like they'll be leaner kids with small heads.
