Can u feel your baby's soft spot?

carly007

I know a "sunken" soft spot is cause for concern due to dehydration - but my daughter seems to always have an indentation where the soft spot is at the top front of her head. Is a little bit of an indentation normal, or should it be completely level w the rest of the head? Not sure what is normal or what is considered sunken.

A bit of indentation is normal.  You can feel it.

If your worried about dehydration, the best way to tell is through the number of wet diapers per day.

There will always be an indentation when LO is upright.  There shouldn't be ne when (s)he is lyng down.
