Hello,
By what you say this seems like a microcephaly. But we need to plot the current weight, length and chronological age of the baby along with the head circumference to be 100% sure, please.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr Sumanth Amperayani, Pediatrician, Pulmonology
