Thank you for your response. My son definatley has the "family head"
both my husband's family and my family has larger heads. We did a CT
on my daughter at 6 mos to be sure, my son now has the same large
head as she did (growth is/was consistenly off the charts for both
kids). My son is a big kid too, and with a bigger head, i've had the
same problem (he also has a big neck, so cutsie little bibs are a
joke!)- the Faded Glory brand tends to run bigger, i've also had good
luck with knits from The Gap... their knits are soft so they stretch
over his head, but they're good quality so they don't stretch out
like some of the cheaper brand clothing. You may want to give them a
try, Gap Outlet is great too and a little more affordable.
Thanks!
