See if you can read the following chart...

A 6 mo old weighing 9.5Kg is above the 95th percentile... meaning she weighs more than most babies her age. For perspective, my son was in the bottom 10th percentile when young, but healthy, and over time he moved toward the center. His cousin, one day younger, was always in the highest percentile for weight.
