Congratulations on the birth of your baby boy..there is much out there regarding kidney size in babies.I can understand your concern   I looked through several articles and found this one helpful   www.livestrong.com/article/263371-kidney-size-in-children/    may I ask what the Doctor thought did he give you any information ?

I know I can imagine it worrying for you, good you are seeing a specialist, you will learn more.From what I researched its not uncommon for one kidney to be larger.Will wait to hear the results ..good luck
