[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think some pediatricians are just more likely to recommend extra testing as a precaution than others. My oldest was 10th percentile when he was born, and then climbed into the 99th by 4 months. I remember 7-9 months was peak chunk, since he hadn’t started crawling yet. His ped never showed concern, and DH and I are pretty average height. He skimmed down once he could crawl/walk, but he stayed really solid. He is 6 now and still 99th.[/quote]

This isn’t the same thing but my kid had/has a massive head. So far off the chart. Absolutely no other issues indicating a problem. My pediatrician hemmed and hawed every visit for the first 6 months and finally said it is almost definitely nothing but just do the scan so we can stop talking about it. So we did it and everything was fine. But I appreciated the philosophy of something is a little different, let’s just see. I would not have agreed to anything invasive but you can object if something more serious is ordered. Unless all these other PP are pediatricians I think you can ignore them. Everything is very likely fine but it’s good to be careful.[/quote]
