Facing same thing for my second child. Doctor recommend US for peace of mind as the jump in head circumference is steep. Now more than 97percentile (5 months old - 44cm). Everything ok?

Good to hear that. My child development is abit slow (maybe because gave birth at 37 weeks). Associate professor suggested MRI instead of US as the former is more detailed) but for MRI, my baby need to undergo GA which I am not comfortable with. Still monitoring my baby's milestones to decide further.
