Baby Head Circumference

Hi everyone,

I don't know whether I am worrying unnecessarily about my daughter, she's 11 month old and very tall (like her daddy) she's always been alive the 98th percentile, as a result her weight has been similar usually around the 91st. She's never had her head circumference measured and its never been mentioned by any Dr's or HVs about it being a worry. I measured out of interest and it places her between the 91st and 98th, which it has been on previous measurements ive taken as well. Is this to be expected because of her height and weight, as it is in proportion with her other measurements I guess, or should I be worried about this and mention it? I do have her 1 year immunisation and health check coming up,

Thanks in advance,
A mammy having a wobble! X

Perfect! Completely in proportion.

(Not that it would be a big deal if it was a bit off given some of us have big/small heads hence it not really being a measurement that's much used - if it was grossly out of proportion you'd likely notice).
