My daughter was shunted at 4 months when her head measured about 47 cm. She is now 18 months old, and her head is still 47 cm! Our ped made the joke that I have the only baby with a shrinking head! LOL We laughed about it because she truly has come so far! I think our neuro team said it is normal to hit a plateau in head growth before it starts to grow again with normal growth in height.
