Help, I am trying not to worry myself stupid - my ds had his 8th month check yesterady. All well, hitting normal milestones blah blah but his head circumference has gone from above 25th centile to 2nd.

He's gone doen height/ weight scale too but not so much - is between 9th and 25th for both.

HV said to remeasure in 2 months but that's a long time - anyone had any similar?

Try not to be concerned. DD also had a 'shrinking' head . She also had a v small soft spot at birth, and I was really worried that her head wasn;t going to grow properly. Anyway, she's fine. She's v tall, and v skinny with a 'small' head, so she's not 'in proportion' according to the centiles. Obviously she looks absolutely gorgeous anyway

Someone (Twiglett? Moondog??) said something v wise recently about how people are not like russian dolls - all exactly the same proportions but different sizes.
