Measuring Your Child

Children grow quickly and their body shape changes over time, so it can be hard to know if you should be getting help for your child’s weight. An easy online tool to use is the NHS BMI (Body Mass Index) Calculator to help check if your child’s weight is outside a healthy range. If you need help to find out your child’s height and weight you can also discuss this with your child’s GP, Health Visitor or School Nurse.
