📏 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.

  • Consistent results (no stretching or shrinking)

    Head circumference tape. Quality product

    I’m a retired health visitor. My Grandson was born recently via a forceps delivery, his health visitor and midwife both declined to measure his head despite his mode of delivery. I ordered the tapes so that I could monitor him. They are accurate easy to use and comfortable for the baby.. it also helped to reassure an anxious Mum. Instructions for the measuring technique were very clear.
