How do you know if your baby will be tall?

Babies do inherit their parents’ body types – tall, short, heavy, or slender. Based on this genetic factor, you can estimate your child’s adult height by adding both parents’ heights (in inches) together.

Does long baby mean tall person?

If your baby tops the length charts, you might expect them to tower above their classmates one day. But a long infant won’t necessarily become a tall adult—just like short babies don’t always turn into small-statured people. In fact, a fetus’ size is largely determined by the placenta’s health.
