Being a mother of 3 boys that are growing like weeds in my neighbor's flowerbed, I asked myself this question then I realized I had to ask their pediatrician and read it in Parents Magazine. My 9 yr old is 5 feet tall and lanky. My 7 year old is over 4 feet and my 1 year old is 3 feet YES 3 feet. Were my prenatal pills an experiment for GIANTS?
Well here is the formula that most pediatricians use according to Parents Magazine.
For BOYS
Add 5 inches to mom's height and average that number with their dad's height.
For GIRLS
Substract 5 inches from dad's height and average that with mom's height.
SOOOOOO...
My 9 year old will be (drum roll please)
73.5 inches which converts to a little over 6'1 well not soo bad.
What about your kiddos?
Well it takes a lot to feed them as well and if you are looking for a down to earth, trustworthy Realtor. I am the one!
