My LO's head was always measuring large before he was born and it still is (marked in his red book it is a fair bit above the 99.6th percentile at 6 weeks old). At around 3 weeks I noticed that his occipital bump is very pronounced so asked the midwife if it is okay, she asked if it has always been like that, and I thought it had, but looking back on pictures from when he was a week old the back of his head was perfectly rounded although still very long. I'm now in a total panic, and feel immensely guilty. I'm worried it may be sagittal craniosynostosis, does anyone have any experience?
