If someone has their red book handy please could you check the girls length chart for me? Could you see what Percentile 86cm is for a girl (86 weeks, so just over 18 months) Thanks muchly! xxx

i dont have the girls but on the boys its the 91st centile

Thanks for looking for me Michelle, can't imagine the girls is much different TBH x

hi lisa, its the 98th %! she a tall one, lilly is 86cm at 21 months which is 85th!!
xxxx

OK I was right in thinking she'd had a growth spurt then! I just wanted to check as I just put her in a new pair of Next 18m-2 years Jeans and no joking they have a 5 cm turn up on them So even if my measuring is a little out surely Next trousers are simply MASSIVE!!!

How rude am I!!!! Thanks so much for checking for me Vicki!!!! xxxx

Lisa, Libby has only just gone into Next 12-18 month trousers, they're clothes are huge (and Libby's tiny ) xx

I agree next clothes are massive! Im going to measure Tay later (or try!)

I've just checked my measuring as she's a bit calmer and obviously I'm not as accurate as the HV with their special sliding measure but I keep getting 86cm
Susan Amelia still mainly wears 12-18 month trousers and has only outgrown 1 pair which were M+P one's.

I'm wondering if they're that long to accomodate pudgy legs?

I always find that trousers are long until the end, and then they are too tight!

86cm is tall though! Izzy is about 82, although not sure.but certainly a few cm's less than Amelia

Lol C isnt much younger n Amelia and shes 74cm, havent checked her book yet for her centile line

LOL Amelia hasn't had any trousers last long enough to be too tight. She's just so skinny. I'm hoping her height growth may slow down a bit now and she'll start filling out a bit. Both Dave and I were string bean children so she's taking after us.

Lol i have terrible trouble with trousers. Legs length wise shes now just out of 9-12 and into 12-18 but if i went by her waist she would be in 6-9 as thats still her waist circumference but the trousers would be like 3/4 lengths lol. Bloody nightmare child lol. I end up putting her in belts or rolling waistbands over or she just wanders around looking like snoop dogg

Aww poor C, PMSL at snoop dogg!!!! You need to get over to france or get some continental clothes for her as they tend to come up small.

I love adjustable waistbands in jeans, wish they did them in skirts as I end up having to sew them up!

Surely the average baby just doens't exist!

Izzys got a pair on now 12-18 that fitted fine last week, I had a hard job getting them over her thighs today and felt a bit mean sending her off out with Daddy in them.....but she wasn't in the mood for another trouser change!
