2015 SUMMER BABIES

Age, Weight & Length Survey

BASIC INFO
All data was self-reported, collected August 15, 2016 through September 14, 2016.
Participants were asked to provide sex (M/F), age (months), weight (pounds) and
length (inches).
Data was normalized to provide a numeric value for all fields (ex. 12 months 2 weeks
was normalized to 12.5 months).
Total respondents: 94 (49 female, 45 male)

Ages ranged from 9 months to 15 months.

Average weight and length by age data are from the World Health Organization.

FEMALE (LENGTH)

25 responses were at the 12 month mark; this

averages 2k15 SB girls at 29.52 inches (or
between the 50th and 75th percentiles)

x-axis is age (months) and y-axis is height (inches); dots represent data points

FEMALE (WEIGHT)

25 responses were at the 12 month mark; this

averages 2k15 SB girls at 20.52 pounds (or
between the 50th and 75th percentiles)

x-axis is age (months) and y-axis is weight (pounds); dots represent data points

MALE (LENGTH)

23 responses were at the 12 month mark; this

averages 2k15 SB boys at 30.93 inches (or
between the 75th and 90th percentiles)

x-axis is age (months) and y-axis is height (inches); dots represent data points

MALE (WEIGHT)

23 responses were at the 12 month mark; this

averages 2k15 SB boys at 22.51 pounds (or
between the 50th and 75th percentiles)

x-axis is age (months) and y-axis is weight (pounds); dots represent data points

SUMMARY
In general, the 2k15 Summer Babies are slightly larger (both length and weight) than
average. At 12 months, girls average between the 50th and 75th percentile for both
length and weight. At 12 months, boys average between the 50th and 75th percentile
for weight and between the 75th and 90th percentile for length.
As noted earlier, all data is self-reported. While no data points were removed,
there are outliers (ex: one male child is reported 39.75 inches at 12 months, putting
him larger than a 99th percentile 24 month old).

While the metrics at 12 months are reported in aggregate, there does not appear to
be any large variation at other time periods (ex. 9 months or 15 months).

APPENDIX READING THE GROWTH CURVE

The lines on each graph represent various
percentiles. For example, if a measurement is
at the 50th percentile, it means that half of all
children that age are larger, and half are
smaller.
