7 Month head measurement

I went to a well visit my baby is 95 percentile doctor told me everything is fine but he is concern about his head being small and the soft spot on his head is kind of close. He wants to see my baby in a month to make sure. I'm so worry about this any advice I will post some picture to see what you guys think about he's head.

My son has a large head it currently 19in he will be 8 months on the 1st he has been seeing Neurosurgeon since 3 months old he is fine they scared me to death especially after sending him to get brain ultrasound and X-rays he also has a tiny soft spot but the neuro said as long as its there it's ok ! He's results came back as benign hydrocephalus fluid outside the brain so they told me not to worry after all the worrying and crying I did I was first sent because of his spot they said it could be craniostenosis but everything looks well so far! Wish you an sur baby luck !!

I think doctors gets us all worked up for nothing and sometimes those head measurements are off . Someone my sons head was smaller at his 4 month check up then when he went before that lol it was a bad measurement

So what is the concern that the pediatrician has exactly?

He said that the head is small in size it measures 16.9 in. that it basically grew about half inch since last visit and the soft spot in the front is almost fused.

Microcephaly is the other. This is for the small size the above one I posted about it for the soft spot closing too quick.

He may be concerned about Craniosynostosis look it up and read up on it so you aren't blindsided by it. IF in fact this is what he is concerned about.
