Get the parents HCs: If the baby is doing well, and has no other signs or symptoms, then I would visit his Paediatrician and get his growth charted. if his head size appears larger , I would first measure the HCs of the parents as well. usually one or both parents also may have large heads. If so then not much to worry. Regardless, the infant should be monitored regularly by measurements and examinations.
