Recessed chin?

Question

This is a picture of my precious baby girl at 17 weeks 3 days. I think she's beautiful but I can't help but notice that her chin looks very recessed. Does anyone know if it's normal to have a recessed chin at this stage or should I be concerned? There's another picture of her as my profile picture and that one is from 12 weeks 6 days. Thanks!

Answer

Totally normal! Here's an example...these two photos of my baby are from the same ultrasound session :)

Answer

I think she just has her chin tucked, the chin isn't prominent until later in pregnancy. I wouldn't worry ☺️ Also, if the Dr hasn't mentioned it I wouldn't think there is an issue.

Answer

She probably moved. That may make it look weird

Answer

Any update? Same issue with my 6wk old

Answer

It's totally normal all babies are born with slightly recessed chins so that they can breastfeed properly and as they get older the chin pulls forward to its normal position

Answer

Our little boy was the same at that stage :) i wouldnt worry. Her chin was probably just tucked. We have pictures where his chin looks recessed, and some that looks normal, from the same day.
