Bulging head? 😕

C 🖤

I've noticed that my baby's head is larger at the front that it is at the back, almost like it's bulging, starting from the middle (at the soft spot) to his forehead , but the entire width across his head (not just a lump/bump).

Is this normal? I noticed it a couple of days ago and just assumed that it was normal after my MIL assured me that baby's sometimes have uneven heads for a while but the more I see it, the more I don't like it. He's 7 weeks/3 days adjusted.

Thanks

It’s the skull plates that haven’t fused. You’ll notice that the baby’s fontanelle is at the top where it dips a little bit. It’ll correct itself

It looks normal to me but just to be on the safe side I'd make an appointment and ask the doctor. Tummy time helps shape the head so make sure you guys are getting that in every day! If it doesn't go to a normal shape on its own they'll probably suggest a helmet to help shape it. Don't worry mama it'll be okay ❤ My little one has a HUGE head and we had to do an ultrasound on it to make sure the fluid was draining properly and not building up. I was so scared but everything turned out fine. praying for you and sending you good vibes and love!
