- Sorry, I left one tiny bit out. b = height of baby at one year.
-
- Let's try again....
- ------------------------- formula follows ---------------------------
-
- Do all calculations in inches.
-
- 1. calculate a (avg ht of parents) = (father's height + mother's height) / 2
- 2. b (baby's height) = baby's height on his first birthday
- 3. if child is a boy: use x = 0.61, y = 1.07
- if child is a girl: use x = 0.57, y = 1.12
- 4. calculate child's height = a*x + b*y - 4.43
