now i'm a bit worried - small head

nino198 · September 2009

i was just chit chatting with a friend of mine and was telling her about how chloe is doing. i mentioned to her that her head is small 3-4%, but her pedi is not concerned - has yet to mention to me of anything i should worry about. she's reaching her milestones. however, my friend said that she had a friend whose son's head was small and had some kind of birth defect they didn't catch until he got older. now i'm freaking out...

please tell me to calm down.

i look at her head and it seems proportion to her body. i also have a small face...

Is her weight/height around 3-4% too?

DS was born at 5% for all measurements. His weight jumped first, then his height started to follow and finally his head measurement is increasing now.

If your LO is reaching milestones and Pedi isn't concerned - then don't worry about it just yet
