My son was born and right away length wise he was in the 85% and weight was 80% and head was 75-80%. He was always in the 85%-100% in height and weight and his head. I always called him my XXL from the toby Keith song. He is almost 11 and he spent the last yr sick constantly and ended up getting his tonsils out. Before he got sick his weight was 90% as was his height but being sick that long his weight fluctuates between 70%-80%. We have been trying to get his weight back up but it’s taking time since it’s only been 2.5 months and he says nothing tastes good and tastes funny. But he has always been a bigger kid to where WIC flipped out on me about over feeding him, and wanted him checked out by their doctors for signs of neglect and abuse. And my Dr had to write a letter about his size.

Babies all grow at their own pace. As long as your baby is happy healthy warm dry and fed you’re doing ok

At my 35 week ultrasound (follow up from abnormal 20 week) my babies head was measuring 41 weeks :rofl: she was estimated 7lbs 14oz at 35 weeks…No GD. she was measuring bigger overall and I was induced at 39 weeks for LGA. She came out at 39.1 at 7.13 (less than the estimate 4 weeks prior.
Although she does have a big head til this day (she’s 17m) ultrasounds can CLEARLY be wrong. Lol

My daughter was less then 25% at all of her 1st year growth appointments. She’s now 4 years old and is in the 90th% for everything lol

Both my kids had heads at the 99th percentile at birth. By 2 yrs old, they’re head circumference was bigger than mine. My husband comes from a line of giant headed people. Lol
