Baby growth charts are a lovely way to record your child getting taller, and make a beautiful addition to a nursery or child's bedroom. They also make a perfect gift.
There are various different types, including fabric, stick-on and wooden, so you can choose the best baby growth chart for your home.
If you have more than one child or are thinking about having more in the future, you often don't need to buy more than one and it's a lovely way to compare heights and check your child's growth pattern in a fun way.
We've picked out 10 gorgeous growth charts so you can ditch the tape measure and make your child's bedroom that little bit more special.
Kidadl's Top Pick
All our baby growth charts have been recommended by parents, but if you're short on time then you needn't look any further than this one from Made By Ellis because of its high quality and beautiful alphabet design.
1. Made By Ellis Personalised Alphabet Height Chart
This is a lovely chart that will measure your baby's growth as they grow into a toddler and child. They can familiarise themselves with the alphabet and even have their name on the top. Parents also love the high quality of this nursery accessory for boys and girls.
This classic ruler-style growth chart is a great addition to a nursery or child's bedroom for both boys and girls. Measurements go up to two metres so you can easily monitor your child's growth pattern as well as your own height.
Parents love how durable the material is and it's easy to write your measurements on, so out of all our recommended baby growth charts this is easily the best value.
3. Sophia Victoria Joy Personalised Wooden Birth Ruler
This is an adorable personalised growth chart that you can use to show how much your baby has grown. It's literally made to measure.
That is, it will be as long as your baby was when they were born. It's also personalised with your baby's name and birth details so it's great for picturing your baby alongside it as they grow before becoming a lovely keepsake for years to come.
If you want something bold that will stand out against your wall colour, then this sticker growth chart is perfect. It's available in more than 20 colours so you should be able to pick the optimum contrast for your wall colour.
Parents have found that it's very easy to put up and the quality is excellent. The height measurement goes from 60cm right up to 150cm, so it can be used from younger than two years right up until they're about 12 years old.
5. Fabian Roo My Twin Thing Family Children's Kids' Height Chart
This is one of the few growth charts that start from the floor, so you don't need to worry about measuring any gaps. It therefore means you can start using it on your baby straight away laid down flat before hanging up for all the family to enjoy.
We love that you can compare your height to a famous person or object, and learn some fascinating facts on the way which both kids and adults will love.
This is one of the more decorative baby growth charts on our list. The bold dinosaur print overshadows the measurements themselves, but it is still very much usable as a child growth chart. Parents love the high-quality material and that it can easily be packed away to have as a keepsake in years to come.
This is the ultimate baby growth chart for all the family. It is expensive, but you get what you pay for: extremely high quality wood, staining and stencilling and you can personalise it with a phrase or family names. Unlike most other baby growth charts, it looks amazing in any room of the family home.
This baby growth chart would make a wonderful gift. Parents love the cute giraffe design and the included photo frames are a great touch, for example they're ideal for putting birthday photographs in next to the appropriate height. It's also easy to install with the self-adhesive, and the foam measuring line is also a big hit with parents.

This is a beautiful baby growth chart that can either be hung up in the nursery or used on the floor to measure your baby. It has lovely embroidery and we adore the star that can be tied to the different hooks down the side to mark the height of your baby.
The neutral colour scheme means that it should work with virtually any nursery decor, and the upper height of 130cm means that it can be used for two years and beyond.
10. Pepper Print Shop Personalised Reach For The Stars Space Height Chart
Parents love the high quality of this personalised baby and child height chart. There are four different colour schemes and five phrases to choose from, as well as the option to personalise with your child's name and date of birth.
