Rounded/protruding forehead?

Anyone have any experience with rounded/protruding foreheads? Dr says no medical concern is causing it, so I just worry from a cosmetic level. I thought that some babies just have big foreheads and they fade, but now after analyzing every baby/child's forehead I see now I'm not so sure. Poor girl will always need bangs and can never wear a hat!

Here are a few pics to show what I'm talking about. Pay no attention to the fact LO is drinking a beer in one!

  • Aww, thanks ladies! I think she's beautiful, but I worry that everyone else just sees her forehead! DH's huge family came to town for her baptism a while back and there were so many comments on her big head and forehead! I just want her to be perfect and not hate her forehead her whole life.

    @TyrannosaurusLex‌ I think I'm ok with the dr's assessment. Because of her large head size in general and gross motor delays, they had us do a head ultrasound, which revealed some benign extra fluid. We also saw a neurosurgeon (mainly for the terrible flat spot she used to have -- luckily it's improved a ton on its own) and, granted he looked at her head for about 2 seconds, said he wasn't concerned about her head shape as long as the ultrasound was normal.

    @JoyBaby5‌ I don't think anyone in our family has a forehead like that. Maybe DH's is a little big and mine is a little wide? But no rounded ones as far as I've noticed.
