Increased head circumference. Increased head circumference is when the measured distance around the widest part of the skull is larger than expected for the child's age and background. A newborn's head is usually about 2 cm (centimeters) larger than the chest size. Between 6 months and 2 years, both measurements are about equal. After 2 years, the chest size becomes larger than the head.
Average Newborn Weight Range. If your newborn weighs between 5.5 and 10 pounds at birth, she's within the average range of weight. According to Heidi Murkoff, author of the bestselling pregnancy book What to Expect When You're Expecting, 95 percent of newborn babies fall into this range. The average baby weighs 7.5 pounds. If a baby is born who weighs less or more than the average weight range, she may receive a little extra attention from medical staff to make sure she has no health problems.
