Hi,
My 4 month old son is being assessed for possible microcephaly. His head circumference is not growing at the required/normal rate.
Other than this he has fallen down the growth centiles somewhat but not alarmingly. He breastfeed a well but has occasional crying fits which we think might be reflux related. His head control isn't great but not worryingly bad. He babbles and coos and smiles and laughs. He bats at toys, has found his hands (sucks on them a lot). He is trying to roll over (can get onto his side but not his tummy from his back). He seems to be developing on the slightly slow side of normal (smiled at 9 weeks). He responds to me, his older brother and dad in the way I would expect.
My question is did anyone have a similar assessment at around this age for microcephaly - how did it turn out? Were there developmental signs this early that something was wrong (if indeed there was something wrong)?
