Big head baby
Attaching the pictures of my baby who is 4 month old. Is his head little big? When I went to vaccination they said the circumference is 43 which is bit high. His birth circumference is 34cm. Ultrasound of head and heart echo taken during the birth time were normal. I consulted a pediatrician and he said normal. But still as the hc is high I am bit worried. Please give me your valuable suggestions.

there is range for head circumference at a particular age. you have to meet the doctor to see if it is within normal limits or not. if you feel that it is more or less it is advisable to consult the doctor because only head circumference is not a criteria for any pathology.

Follow the doctor.
