Why Growth Trajectory Matters More Than Single Percentiles
A child at the 15th percentile or 85th percentile can be completely healthy if their individual growth curve tracks smoothly along their established percentile channel over consecutive checkups.
Pediatricians watch for sharp percentile crossings (e.g., dropping from the 75th percentile to the 25th percentile across 6 months), which warrants investigation for nutritional or gastrointestinal concerns.
