Re: Cephalic Index Question

Congratulations!

I am interested in people's feedback on the CI too. My

son graduated a few weeks ago at 86.25%. He started at

94%, so this is pretty improved. However, it's still

not normal.

Someone else told me the CI decreases by a percentage

point per year in young children. Anyone else heard this?

How long does it go on? Not forever, obviously, or my

CI would be, like, 50.

going to have a more rounded head as I do. I also read that the CI will

naturally decrease with age.

Hi Dawn,

My daughter started with a CI of 96, and graduated at 85. I know our doc likes

to see patients get below 90, but you're close to that. My daughter is now 3 and

what I notice is some funny angles on her head - they've been there all along,

but don't seem to have improved. I have heard the CI can get better with age,

but so far I haven't really noticed it. SHe hasn't been measured since 14 mo

(she graduated at 10 mo old) so I don't know for sure what her CI is now.
