According to growth chart head circumference for newborn girl child is 31.7 to 36.1(between 3rd & 97 th percentile of normal range).
Your baby 'S head circumference(36 CM) is falling in normal range.
Next Steps
you just need to do every monthly head circumference monitoring with level of anterior fontanelle & regular checkup of milestone developments.
