Head Circumference - Red Book.

MrsMurphy2Be · Apr 14th, 2012, 15:57 PM

Ive just measured Paiges HC as I was very curious. Her head is 8cm smaller than mine lol. Anyone have a red book handy be able to tell me where she is on the chart?

Shes 14.5 months, HC is 48cm (I took it as well as I could, might not be accurate)

Also, what are your LOs HCs?

Ohh, Kian has never had his HC done! I might have to do it!
I know he's between the 50th & 75th for his weight & height

Ohh I thought it would have been higher! I guess its not as big as it sometimes looks :P

Shes also between 50th/75th for weight, and just above 75th for height

I thought she looked rather tall in her pictures!

That's weird in this area on on the uk growth charts on the Internet for the red books the HV chart only goes up to 12 months? On the WHO one though online my son is between 85th and 95th centile xx

No idea what my kids heads are now, may have to measure them. They were both born with heads on the 98th centile though!!!
