Ask your assistant to measure the length from the wall down to the baby's heels.

Record the resulting number in inches onto your baby's growth chart.

A growth chart tracks your baby's height and weight changes over her first years. These changes allow a comparison to be made of your baby's development compared with the typical growth rate at her age. According to Kid's Health, doctors track your baby's changes at each checkup. If you would like to keep a home growth chart as a sentimental record of your baby's first years, you will need to know how to measure her length. According to James Gaylord and Michelle Hagen, authors of "Your Baby's First Year for Dummies," length is the term used to describe a baby's height until she is 36 months of age. - by eHow
