Anyone's baby have this after being born? My son has a big buldge on his head and the nurses and doctors said it was normal and will go away on its own in a couple weeks and its been two weeks and hasn't gone down at all. I did some research on it and now I'm worried. we have a doctors appointment next week and I will talk to the doctor more about it but until then I would like to know if any of you mommas had this problem as well! Thanks in advance.

  • My daughter had a huuuge one. It took years for it to go away. As her head grew it went away. Baby no. 2 had one as well. Don't worry. It will go away just takes time.

  • My husband was born with one. Totally gone by the time he was 5 or 6.
  • My baby had a bump on her head and we took her to the pediatrician at two weeks old when it hadn't gone away. He said it didn't feel hard and moved when he pushed it side to side so it was likely a lymphnode. It was gone a couple weeks later!
