Kids/Toddler measuring guide

Use the tips & visuals in this guide to make taking your child's body measurements easy-peasy.

Don’t have a fabric tape measure? Use a shoelace or pant leg to measure. Then, lay it flat & use a ruler or tape measure to get a numerical measurement.

How to measure

  • Height

    Standing with feet together and back to a wall. Measure from floor to the top of the head.

  • Chest

    Have your child make airplane arms. Wrap tape measure around the fullest part of the chest, keeping it level & snug.

  • Waist

    With your child bending to one side, measure the point where the waist flexes naturally. Keep the tape level & comfortably loose.

  • Hip

    Have your child stand like a tall tree with feet together. Measure a level line around the fullest part of the hips & seat.

  • Inseam

    Take a pair of pants that fit your child well. Measure along the seam from crotch to leg opening.

    Terrible Scoop

    2 out of 5 stars
    Leanna2121 - 2 years ago

    My complaint is that the scoop in the formula is terrible. It's to wide and when I go to make my baby a bottle, half of it misses the bottle because it's to wide.

    My son is 7 months old, when he was born he was having issues using the bathroom. Enfamil was backing him up pretty bad. My parents used this formula on myself and my sister and suggested it. We haven’t had an issue since! My only complaint is it’s so hard to find in grocery stores.

    easy on tummy

    5 out of 5 stars
    smwolff - 4 years ago
    We have been using this formula since our baby was 1 month old. We give him formula once in the evening, and the rest of his feedings he nurses. He took to this formula since day one and seems to be very gentle on his system. It's a bonus because I pump in the evening in place of nursing him, and this has allowed me to stack up breast milk

    Whoknows - 4 years ago
    originally posted on gerber.com
    I thought gerber took the stance that 100% partially hydrolyzed whey was best. Why only change the formulation in the 12oz cans? I'll tell you why: cut manufacturing costs bc primarily WIC recipients are getting this size. Why not produce in bigger cans then? Despite that I think it's a great formula in comparison to enfamil and similac's flag ship formulas (especially the "bare bones" ones. I'm glad they kept the 2'fl and probiotics.

    Not working for us

    2 out of 5 stars
    KimSig34 - 6 years ago, Verified purchaser
    It is 3:20am. I started my 4 in a half week old on this formula this morning around 8am. He drank it with no issues and slept well, until the evening. He has had the worst smelling gas and became fussy to a point where he can’t sleep or stay asleep. Here’s to another struggling sleepless night with a fussy baby. He’s constantly moving and seems to be crawling up my body in discomfort as we hold him to try and calm and soothe him. He’s still passing gas so I can only assume that’s what is bothering him and keeping him awake. After reading the reviews, I was really hoping this Gentle formula would work for my baby. I liked the way it mixed, the consistency, smell and color. Unfortunately, it’s bothering my baby’s stomach and giving him bad gas. He smells like a stink bomb instead of a sweet newborn. For his sake, looks like it’s on to the next formula adventure until we find the right one.

    A lot of acid reflux

    Thumbs down graphic, would not recommend
    Mariher - 7 years ago
    We purchased this formula after using similac which caused a lot of constipation. Once mixed, the formula is very thin and looks a lot like breast milk. Although it did help with constipation and my baby was able to have a bowel movement, it caused him a lot of acid reflux and he was spitting up and/or vomiting after almost every bottle, which smelled sour. Also something to note, his farts and poops smelled really bad and were dark green with this formula.

    Tiara - 8 years ago
    This was the 6th formula we tried for our newborn whom is 6 weeks. This is the only formula which hasn't caused bloating, diarrhea, vomiting, constipation and/rash. Cost about the same as the other brands. The only cons are the fact the bottle only last 1 hr after being prepared (the other big brand lasts 2hrs) and the fact that Gerber doesn't mail out coupons.

    We tried a few different types of formula, found that Gerber worked, but WIC in Northern NY doesn't pay for Gerber Gentle. We tried pretty much everything WIC approves and though we can't really afford Gerber on my husband's military paycheck, it's the only thing that has worked (Enfamil Newborn, Enfamil Gentlease, Enfamil AR and Nutramigen all didn't work...spit-up projectile or like cottage cheese, severe diaper rash, etc). Gerber...perfect for baby! I just wish the last scoop was easier to get out!

    My son was born under the birth weight and my breastmilk was not helping him grow as fast as his doctors wanted him too. We tried enfimil but he did not like the taste of it. It so happened we had a can of gerber good start gentle and he looked it. He has gained at least 1lb a week since being on the gerber formula. To bad it is not accepted by wic!
