Is anyone familiar with it? My baby girl is five weeks old today and I've been a little concerned with the shape of her forehead since the first few weeks, but have dismissed it because her dad and his family all have protruding brows/foreheads. Now it's 2:30 in the morning and I'm scrolling through pictures of her and beginning to worry all over again! The indentation at her temples and brow bone concern me. I am definitely calling her pediatrician in the morning (the doctor hasn't said anything about her head shape, just that it's a little large) but I just wanted opinions from you ladies!
Pictures attached.
The nursing picture is so you can see her forehead with her eyebrows raised!

My rainbow baby Isaac has arrived!
Just saw the neurosurgeon last week who examined his head and did a skull X-ray to confirm that he doesn't have it!! We were ecstatic!
If you are concerned about it, it definitely doesn't hurt to bring it up to the pedi. Good news is it's treatable if she were to have it, just sucks that the treatment is surgical for such a LO. Also if it's questionable now, know that as she grows it would become obvious as to whether or not she had it with how her skull continues to develop.
I think she's adorable though.
