What's typical at this age
By the first birthday many babies are about 50% longer than they were at birth. Length keeps climbing at around a centimetre a month. Between month 10 and month 11, the median girl grows about 1.3 cm.
A percentile compares your girl to other girls the same age — the 50th is simply the middle. Being above or below it is usually completely normal; a baby who has always tracked the 15th or 85th percentile is typically growing exactly as they should. What pediatricians watch for is a sudden change in the pattern, not the number itself.
