A member asked:
My 4 months baby's head circumference is 46 cm, is it ok?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: This would be at the high end of normal for a male infant & usually paired with a length of 67 cm. You can download a growth chart from the cdc website & plot known measures to follow the child's pattern. www.cdc.gov/growthcharts if your kid is shorter or the head size is increasing faster than his length, it is unusual.If this is a girl the head is too big.
