📏 Why Head Circumference Measurement Matters

Measuring a baby’s head circumference is a key step in monitoring brain and skull development. Regular measurements, plotted on the UK-WHO growth charts, help detect any unusual growth patterns early.

If head size or shape is outside the expected range, consult a healthcare professional.

⚙️ How to Measure a Baby’s Head Circumference

1. Place the tape over the most prominent part at the back of the head (occiput).
2. Bring it forward above the eyebrows (supraorbital ridges).
3. Record the largest measurement.

Important: Measuring with either material (sewing) tape or paper tape is inappropriate, as these can stretch or warp and lead to inaccurate results.

Tip: A non-stretch, 7–13 mm wide tape with clear markings ensures accuracy. This tape meets all professional measurement criteria.
