A member asked:
Babys head went from 13.5 in (15th percentile) at 2 weeks to 15.3 (28th percentile) at 10 weeks. is this normal growth?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Baby growth: The first 6 months in a baby's life is the greatest growth they will experience per day in their whole life. If your baby's head circumference at 28th percentile is consistent with a weight and height at this same general percentile then all is fine. If there is a large discrepancy, your Dr would have let you know and would discuss the possible causes.
