Hello
Welcome to healthcare magic.
Your baby could be having micro cephaly which could be a genetic problem or associated with any related anomalies or birth defects.Kindly consult a pediatrician or neonatologist for appropriate tests to reach the exact diagnosis.sometimes this can occur hereditary in normal babies if family history is suggestive.
Do not panic.See your doctor soon.
