Big head concern question

Mama BMama B

My best friends son just turned 2 in August and the doctor is concerned about the size of his head. He has slower development than other 2 year olds and he doesn't really talk yet. I'm wondering, why are they concerned about the size of his head?

    an enlarged head is called hydocephaly, and can be very dangerous. you can look it up on google to see the causes, etc. i hope that is not what he has.

    DS and DD have humongous heads... the nurses come in and double check DD head twice at her appts usually.

     Do you mean - a big head in general? or that his head is growing at a faster rate than normal for him?

    He's got a big head in general but since his development is delayed they're worried. But his daddy has a big head too according to his GF!

    They could be worried about extra fluid up there, I think its hydrocephalus, not hydo
