Another baby head shape question

I just saw the other post but I think my question is a bit different. I had a c-section and my baby's head was perfectly round and about 50th centile. In just a few weeks its grown very quickly to top of the centiles because its gone quite long shaped at the back. I do have a funny shaped head myself with a kind of wedge at the back, and so does my DS so maybe it runs in the family.

I've looked on the Internet and scared myself about craniosyntosis and hydrocephaly and things.

If you looked at her head you would think it looked normal until you look from the side and see the distance from back of neck up to back of head IYSWIM. Health visitor is monitoring her growth and doctor wasn't worried at 6 week check, but I am!

Did anyone else's baby have a head shape that changed after birth and went more long at the back?
