Head circumference - what is too small?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Head circumference: There is a wide range of normal for head circumference, depending on age. Your doctor should be plotting this on a chart at well child visits. Look at both the actual size, and the change in size with time to see if your child's head circumference is normal.
