Neonatal-Perinatal Medicine Specialist Questions Baby growth

My baby's head is bigger than my son's was at birth. Should I be worried?

My baby was born with a big head, bigger than my other son, and it continues to be the same way as he gets older. He's 2 now. Is it something that I need to worry about?

It should be ok if the head growth is following its own percentile growth curve and not crossing the lines (i.e. head not continuing to grow out of proportion), and the development is fine. Your pediatrician can address any concern with growth curves and developmental assessment.
