Would you be concerned about his head?

Question

My boys head was in the 76% at 2 month check up. Then it went to 94%. I asked his dr if that was okay and he said he’s not going to worry about it yet since he’s not over the charts, but I can’t help but be a little concerned. Considering all his other percentiles are low.

Answer

We are 99Th for height, 75th for weight, and well off the charts for head. 🤷🏼‍♀️

Answer

I wouldn't worry too much. 1cm can make a difference... So if it was not measured correctly that could be why too.

Answer

Babies are different, like every human. If your doc says it’s okay if within percentiles then it’s fine. Maybe my baby is also a bit off, 65% head, 30% length, 8% weight. I’m a shirt skinny big headed person myself, so I know it’s likely his natural shape. If everything else about their development is normal why would the shape matter.

Answer

Ha we are 90 th 90 wt 25head. We all have little pin heads lol. But I don’t think any of us look out of proportion. I would go by what dr says and like pp said if it was measured by someone different than last time it could make a huge difference

Answer

We are in the 99th percentile for head. Both my babies have high heads like their dad. Even in the womb they were like "your baby has a bigger head than normal." My daughter grew into her head probably at a year. And my son right now has a hard time holding his big head up. 4 months and he finally mastered it. I wouldn't worry until your doctor says something.

Answer

Honestly Head circ is gonna be different based on whose doing it. !  Weve had a smaller head then all of a sudden in the 76% tile but Her head is smaller than most of the babies I know her age lol .

Answer

My daughter is 90% height, 55% weight and 60 % for head. All babies grow at different rates. It just matters if they are following their personal growth path

Answer

Here’s my girl she’s 4 months, 23% head, 56% weight & 77% height
