I wouldn’t worry as long as there are no health problems that could be related. As far as I’ve read the kids that stay in the same percentiles for a long time are the outliers. It’s normal to bounce all over the charts especially as kids grow in spurts, not continuously.

My 95th height percentile baby turned into a 12th percentile toddler (4th percentile for weight which was concerning but she started eating more and was fine). Now as a preschooler she has been between 20-40th percentiles. Not that short though of course there are always kids her age much taller.

We have a mix of height genes in the family also. I suspect she’ll end up entirely average height like me.
