Should I be worried?????

Question

I was holding my daughter while she slept just playing with her hair (she has tons of it) and felt a knot type of thing on the very top of her neck, just barely where her skull starts. It’s freaking me out, she’s currently peacefully asleep in her crib while I tripping out on mine and my husbands room. Should I be worried about this? She’s only 15 months old

Answer

Some babies have bony necks and spines. I know my 18 month old if she sleeps curled up or even if she's snuggled for cuddles I can feel the top of her spine where it connects to her skull...and its a roundish hard bump/lump. My child is all bones and muscle. So if I feel her bones or muscles flex  if she moves a weird way it does not bother me. If I were you I would touch that spot when your kiddos awake and if it does not seem to bother or hurt her I would think its not anything to worry about. 
I would say if it seems to be problematic talk to her doctor. 
Best of luck mommy!
