Head shape and your baby
As babies grow and develop, parents often have questions about whether their child is growing as expected and what changes are normal. Concerns about head shape, growth charts and development are common, and it can be difficult to know when reassurance is enough and when to seek advice. In this episode, Dr Anthea Rhodes speaks with paediatrician Dr Lisa Barrows about to unpack questions that many parents have about their child’s head shape. They discuss how growth is monitored, why some babies develop flat spots on their heads, and when parents should speak to a health professional. Parents will come away with practical advice, reassurance and a better understanding of how babies grow and develop in the first year of life.
