Future Height Predictor
Estimate your baby's adult height using the Mid-Parental Height formula and current growth observations.
Growth Note
While genetics play a 60-80% role in ultimate height, nutrition, environmental factors, and health during childhood also significantly impact a child's final stature.
The Mid-Parental Formula
Also known as the Tanner Method, this is the gold standard for pediatricians estimating genetic height potential. It calculates the child’s height based on the average of the parents’ heights plus or minus 2.5 inches (6.5 centimeters) depending on the child's sex.
