I'm a little concerned about my LO's head circumference.  It's in the 10th percentile.  The doctor said it's not a concern because it's in the normal range and has been following a good curve of growth from one checkup to another, but it still seems small. 

He is a smaller kid than my first.  The first one was always in the 95th percentile for weight, 90th for height, and 60-something for head.  And not to brag, but he is incredibly smart.  LO is in the 40's for height, 20-30 for weight, and 10 for head. Tell me not to be concerned.  I want him to be smart too!  His head and brain need to grow!

sounds like he is a cute little guy I know it's difficult not to worry. One of my babies had a head that was at the 100 percentile....and he is fine, his body eventually caught up! hopefully that makes you feel better

The curve of growth is what matters. If it's growing and following a good curve, I wouldn't worry at all.

I have one super small kid (she's almost 5 and not 30 lbs yet). She always had a small head as an infant. But she's super smart. She's in preschool but works with the kindergarteners at school. She's reading. Doing simply math. We do work on reading because she likes it, but she's the one that initiated it. We don't really push her or anything. This is just who she is. So small head doesn't mean not smart. Just means small head.
