Low percentile for head circumference

2024-06-26 09:00:13
My baby boy is 4 months old. He is in the 20th percentile for weight & 25th percentile for height (same as during birth). But he's at 4th percentile for head circumference (it was 20 percentile at birth). I do not live in India but the doctor here is not concerned yet. But I am very worried and would appreciate any advice on the head circumference dropping to such low percentiles. Thanks
