Question
My baby is nine and a half months old, and they are of normal height and body size, but their head is much larger than that of other children. So, I want to know if a baby’s head being large is normal?
Answer
Based on the symptoms you’ve described, it’s actually not something to worry too much about; it’s quite normal. If you feel that your child’s head is larger than that of their peers and there are no other symptoms, it’s recommended that you take your child to the hospital for a check-up. If the head circumference is within the normal range, there should be no major concerns. A larger head indicates a larger brain capacity, which may also mean more grooves, suggesting that the child might be smarter than average children of the same age.
